People no longer want to leave their homes to game, hence the death of most arcades

  • Interestingly, there's a small arcade chain that's pretty popular around my area. They specialize in retro games and have a wide selection, and from what I've seen they get pretty packed on weekends with people of all ages. They have stations of classic consoles (great if you want to play with a group), along with traditional arcade games and pinball. They do tournaments, birthday parties, and other events as well.

    Not that it denies the trend, but it shows that there's definitely some interest out there for a gaming/"public living room" kind of place.
