So sad. Reuters reported a few days ago that Namco Bandai Holdings closed around one-fifth of its arcades last thurdsay. Not only that, Sega Sammy Holdings said that they also plan to close around 100 of their arcades.
What's killing the arcades? Not MMOs apparently. No folks, blame the Wii.
You know, I like the Wii as much as the next guy, but coin-op penny-arcades hold a special place in my geeky heart.
This is sad, sad news for me. Here's to hoping that it won't be a trend. *sniffles*
