Why did arcades fail? Is it because Zoomer brains are hikikomori-coded?
Some of my fondest memories as a child were those of arcades and internet cafes. We raged and made friends. Ah, how I miss it. The nerdy girl behind the counter made my dick hard too.

get a life faggot

arcades = sega
sega died

Outside Japan, she would get raped in an arcade dressed like that

>mask
no thanks

they're still popular in asia, in america, well, the same reason why no one wants to spend time in public spaces anymore

Consoles.

Proliferation of non whites in an inherently white space had already degraded the quality of the experience both in practice and in thought and the extreme governmental and societal overreaction to the seasonal flu and common respiratory illnesses- what the cattle class erroneously refers to as "the pandemic" or "covid".

You know exactly why they failed. We all know why.

>>716064059 (OP)
Arcade games used to be way better than home console games in many respects, especially screen size and accesories

Now my PC mogs the ever loving fuck out of dated arcade hardware with pay per play mechanics

nobody makes anything for arcades anymore. I genuinely believe they could make a comeback, but they have to actually exist before that can happen

>>716064059 (OP)
I unironically want to go to a Japanese arcade

Arcades failed due to millennials. By the time zoomers were born arcades were already vanishing due to millennials preferring to stay at home with consoles.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I would have sex with her

>>716064372
hopefully they get cleaned up by the end of the year
i was invited to go to the beach in Commiefornia for 4th this year. NOPED immediately. still not safe there, they have a lot to do first.

>>716064059 (OP)
Im a zoomer, fuck you i love arcades, pic related my win streak against probably some mashing gaijin i dont remember

>>716064059 (OP)
Because Americans are retarded and won't build walkable cities. Parents don't want to drive their kids to an arcade and then sit there for hours.

Wild to see people trying to make like Arcades were in any way preferable to home consoles / PC gaming.
>yeah bro I love games designed to drain me of money one quarter at a time!
>standing on a sticky floor while dealing with obnoxious strangers around me is so much better than gaming in the comfort of my own home

>>716064372
>they're still popular in asia
They most certainly are not. Pachinko parlors sure, but more and more arcades are closing down by the year

Imagine playing against her in the arcade and every time she wins against you she pumps up, larger and larger...

>>716064307
If you zoom in, the price tag is in hangeul, so it's probably in Korea

>>716064989
if you go to any mall in china they have entire floors of arcades with anything from vr games, racing games fighting games etc, but arcades are still alive in japan too, there's just not a lot of young people in general

YAAASSSSS r/fuckcars xister!!!!

Home consoles and PC
Also online multiplayer

>>716064447
It's happened even in white countries though, it's probably widespread social anxiety, COVID lockdowns made that worse, which also made dating worse, everybody has PTSD and became comfortable in forever social isolation

>>716064307
The fuck kind of ghetto ass arcades are you going to?

>>716064059 (OP)
Your home pc/console is likely more powerful than arcade machines. Also you can still go to Dave and Busters to play outdated arcade games for $3 a pop.

>>716065121
They literally just closed down the Sega gamecenter in Akiba. You'll be lucky if Hey sticks around by 2028.
Truthfully probably all their immigrants will fuck up the machines by then.

People just buy and swap their own pinball machines these days, those being the only arcade machines that are still relevant. While they take a lot of plays to pay themselves off, they hold value and are easily traded.

Other than that, arcade cabinets are cheap as fuck and now have infinite games.

>>716064847
Its a generation bait thread. It doesnt have to make sense, retards will still lap up shit as long as its presented with nostalgia. What really fucking weird is its nostalgia for shit almost 90% of the people on /v/ werent even old enough to really experience the heyday of outside maybe the occasional chuck e cheese birthday.

But what happen to the wombo combo of Arcades next to Cinemas though?

>>716064843
>walkable cities.
What is the street made of lava in your home town?

>Why did arcades fail?
Because home consoles outpaced the power of arcade machines and thus all the best games are on consoles/PC now instead of arcade games

it's as simple as that

>>716065495
>the combo of dying arcades next to dying cinemas

>>716065668
this
all the /pol/ fags will say "le blacks le blacks" but this is the real reason
Go into a modern Dave & Busters or any other large arcade and literally half the fucking games are just phone games but on a large screen.

>>716065437
You have a super fragile ego and immediately thought it was an attack on you. So I think you must be a zoomer. But actually I didn't make the thread to criticize zoomers.
However, you have to admit that zoomers hate social contact (in person, not talking about social media). Don't you? Be honest. Could it be the answer?

>go to arcade
>see this girl
what do here /v/?

Why pay2play when you can just donate to your favorite content creator?

I'm dumb. What is anon talking about?

>>716065316
there are a lot of places closing in japan because they have an aging population, but again arcades are still big in asia where the population is younger

>>716064059 (OP)
Arcades died before zoomers were even a glint in their daddy's eyes, fuckwit.

Because the games are worse than games you can get at home. Most of them are shitty and designed to be token feeders.
It's not all shit, noche rhythm games you can't get at home are fun, but it's mostly shit.

when the rate of negroes goes over 3/100 public spaces become unusable in a 3 block radius

>>716064597
>Arcade games used to be way better than home console games in many respects
but not in the way that matters; going to the tradeshow to secure some sales and having owners not wanting to buy your game because it didn't have enough churn (quarters spent per hour)
