I liked it but it completely ignored also all of Japan, where they put arcades in areas of heavy foot traffic. People walk home from work and pass an arcade on the way and stop in. The same foot traffic ideas have worked elsewhere. Arcades in malls for example, back when malls were popular and you were there with your parents you passed an arcade and went in. It wasn't all people driving there for the arcade. Nobody goes to malls anymore, not like the 80s and early 90s, so an arcade there isn't sustainable anymore. If you put an arcade on a college campus between 2 buildings students walk between classes by it would probably be successful. Ground Kontrol is located in the asshole of downtown Portland btw. Terrible street that is bum walked night of the living dead.
