Because if it was sold with the cabinet your going to pay an additional 100ish dollars. Those things are way overpriced for what they are. Without the riser you just have to sit down in a chair to play.

Your response seems to be based on how it's sold and I think my question is more based on how it's made to be sold

Let's set aside the obvious that they are very likely selling the riser as a separate piece to increase profitability, as I'm sure the riser is a great add-on piece that gives them a high margin

What I'm asking is- is it a situation where it is very blatantly that you need to get a riser or build a riser separately? Or is there an actual use for it being at the height they sell the cabinet at? You mentioned a chair, but are people actually using a chair to play this and not buying/building a riser?

Those of us who remember actual arcades know about standing up at an arcade machine, but I don't know enough about this to know what the arcade cabinet heights are. Are the Arcade machines sold at the height for a child to stand at (that we would have stood at in our youth), and the risers are for us old fucks to stand at/sit at in a bar stool?

Or is it a case where, it doesn't make sense at all to use it at the base height, and everyone needs to buy/build a riser to actually play it (kid or adult), and they are just capitalizing on add-on sales?
