Maybe. I always felt like arcades thrived by offering an experience you can't get at home. Now that consoles have comparable graphics and online play there's less reason to leave the house. Things like pins, larger scale VR, motion simulators, dance machines, this is what arcades need - to provide something consoles can't. Ticket redemption is a nice side feature but the games should be fun while earning them.

I always wanted to have one. This stuff would require a lot of space and a ton of money. Older cabs can be had for a few hundred and aren't terribly difficult to maintain. That's just not enough to attract tons of people unless you're acting like a museum of sorts.
