@PurpCat @LodedDiaper @LukeAlmighty @antihate arcades in america are basically dead outside of small niches in big cities or just not worth going to, they're only a distraction to a larger establishment like mall- which in itself are dying. They tend to be small and shitty and hardly really have any sense of staying.
Compare that to Japan (or even korea) that still has a decent arcade scene that actually has unique games that you can't play easily with a PC or a fighting game scene where you get to interact with people in a circle- which a console/pc at home can never really replicate.
Here in America, you can go to a dave and buster's and play phone games on a big screen.
