Gaming cafés are great, exactly for the reasons you mention. Moreover, everything is preinstalled so you don't waste time setting things up or downloading gigabytes of patches. And they usually have food and drink options, events and tournaments, etc. Hopefully they will continue to expand in the US. The larger-scaled "LAN gaming centers" look pretty cool as well. MMOs and large-scale games are really fun to play when everyone is in the same room. Consoles are a nice addition too; 8-12 player LAN Mario Kart (for example) takes a lot of hardware and time to set up on your own, but it is a lot of fun to play. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAN_gaming_center https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAN_gaming_center
