Arcades: Back From the Dead?

Well, this might be odd, but listen. If we are heading where we think we heading, I think they might come back into favor. With inflation becoming the inevitable, and consumers not buying as many games as they used to, and if inflation kills the dollar, we might be popping 25 cents , instead of 20 dollars, if we lose our spot in the world. If you need some evidence, consider this: during 1972, when pong came out, it was a game changer, yet it was still a recession. 1982, when it looked like the US was fading, Donkey Kong came out, and it was a hit. And so if the arcade makers like Capcom and Sega can innovate, which they have shown they can, this might change the video game industry as we know it. With extra cash flow, it could buy up smaller players, and take a larger chunk out of the industry. But, there is one way that video games, arcades, and even electronics could suffer. CAP and TRADE! With a almost abolition on carbon coming, via cap and trade, we will probably suffer the brunt end, along with the rest of the economy. Because half our power is produced by coal, which is carbon, prices of electricity will go up, the price of owning arcade will go up, which will throw small owners especially for a loop. And the individual system and electronics owner will suffer because you need electricity for the also. So while the future might look promising, it is as equally dangerous.
