Issue
Have you ever found yourself standing in front of an arcade cabinet, eagerly pushing the coin slot in anticipation, only to find that the game is down? Or worse, have you experienced the frustration of playing a game that’s not maintained properly, with broken buttons or joysticks hampering your gameplay?
For the younger generation, arcades are a rare treat. The arcade experience is often nostalgic for those who grew up in the 80s and 90s. With the rise of online games and home consoles, Arcade culture took a hit. However, many gamers are still looking for the arcade experience and are willing to pay for it. Despite this demand, few arcade businesses thrive – and those that lack the quality and experience that gamers deserve.
What is the relevance of the problem?
The gaming market is massive and growing. In 2020, the gaming industry generated 4.9 billion in revenue, with approximately 2.7 billion gamers worldwide. However, with the rise of online games, arcades are often overlooked. This leaves room for arcade businesses to thrive – but only if they deliver a high-quality experience that meets the player’s needs.
What is the current solution for the problem?
Currently, the only solution is to go to an arcade and hope for the best. In many cases, it’s a gamble. For gamers who don’t have an arcade nearby, the only option is to settle for online games, which isn’t the same experience as the arcade.
Why does the problem exist?
The arcade business requires more than the machines – it requires upkeep and maintenance. The company must not only invest in the regular maintenance of their equipment, but also invest in creating a gaming atmosphere that players will enjoy. Many arcade companies are cutting corners to cut costs, neglecting the physical appearance and maintenance of gaming machines. Additionally, the rise of online gaming has shifted the focus away from arcades.
- Arcade gaming nostalgia is still high
- Desire for a high-quality gaming atmosphere
- Inconsistent quality of arcade experiences
- Neglect of physical appearance and maintenance of gaming machines
- The diversion of attention away from arcades due to online games
