Sigh and here I am about to hit 17 years operating an arcade in a mall in Utah, and it's tough to get 1% of the media attention that this guy who couldn't even make it work after six months has received, all because people pay attention to negative news instead of the good.
It's simple to see why he failed - poor game selection (only 18 games?); nothing else to draw attention like pinball or basketball or food/drink; possibly a poor location; an unwillingness to operate newer content or to change the biz model when it didn't work.

@pixelmania Nice, I hope business has been going well for you. My place started as Game Grid Arcade, but had to change it and now its Arcade Galactic.
