Arcade is still a thing here in our country though not as much as it was before. Mobile games and online games are getting more popular and with the introduction of NFT games I'm pretty sure in the future we'd be all like how it was in ready player one.
I have fond memories of going to spend the weekend with my cousins, we would ride our bikes down to the arcade and spends hours there. I even remember when they used to have arcades in the mall, now if you find them they are merely shells of what they once were. Claw machines and a few racing games, bring back DDR!
