There's a massive gap between arcade and consumer hardware today, too. The arcades are filled with machines from a good 20 years ago, pushing less polygons than a PS2. Why would I pay good money to play with extremely outdated hardware?
- lrvick 5y agoThere is something very zen and kind of time-travely about playing a 40yo arcade cab made in the US that still works. They were each built to do one thing and do it well with no need for ads or internet connectivity or yearly hardware upgrades. I for one love them and wish we still approached technology this way. I also still read paper books like a cave person. I'll go back to my corner now.
