Polygon:

For many arcades, though, it’s a balancing act between old technology and modern business models. To stay afloat, the money has to come from somewhere, and arcades are adapting in different ways to continue to survive in the ever-changing economic landscape. By looking at four arcades — a traditional arcade, two arcade bars, and a national chain — we were able to see how well that balance is maintained, and how sometimes it isn’t quite balanced at all.

It must be the very definition of “labour of love” to run an arcade in 2015. I spent far too much time in them as a kid and still, when I see one in a mall, I wander in to see and remember.
