That's not the point. The point is, those people who think they are agoraphobic or whatever are going to think twice about staying at home and play their stupid emulators. And they might already be sick of game rooms, those arcade machines in restaurants, indoor store entryways, laundromats, and the like. They might be also sick of those so-called "fun centers" in shopping malls (like the one Vkimo talked about in his most recent article). At least there are some reasonable places we can have video games in, like pizza parlors (which might include Chuck E. Cheese's and its stupid animatronic shows that aren't like they used to when I was young), movie theaters, amusement parks, cruise ships, miniature-golf courses, go-kart tracks, bowling alleys, and even Dave and Buster's.
In other words, I just hope the old-fashioned video arcade us children of the 80s and 90s used to grow up with might make a comeback to lure back numerous fans and players of coin-op arcade games, as well as children of parents who also grew up in said 80s and 90s. So this means the comeback may bring back retro-gaming fans, past and present, as well as a younger audience.
