Re: End of arcade development ?
10/21/14 07:08 AM


Like the drive-in theatre phenom, arcades aren't dead... merely dormant. The common denominator is how the culture values going out in public and enjoying bustling environments. My wife and I go to the local movie house more often than ever before because although it's possible to download virtually anything you want to watch, we tire of vegetating in the apartment; admittedly, it helps that the theatre charges $4.00 a ticket and $2.00 for popcorn. If arcades were a quarter again, that would similarly help. The kids coming up know no other lifestyle than burying themselves in their hand-held computing devices and would rather text the person standing right in front of them than actually speak to them; once they start concluding that there's an actual world out there and opt to experience it, then they can at least enjoy gaming in public without actually speaking to people.

I have officially retired from sucking at everything I do. Life is much easier now.
