• In 2007, the arcade cabinet industry was still bringing in $4 billion per year, although down from $8 billion in 2004. By 2012, revenues for coin-operated machines dropped to $35 million. The decline correlates well with the advent for the smart phone, which seems to have created less need for coin-operated distractions in the venues in which arcade games still resided. This opened the door for a novel new idea that the market seems poised to support: All You Can Arcade, which allows you to “have your favorite arcade games delivered to your living room for only $75 per month. … No delivery or pickup fees, and keep the games as long as you want.” It’s like Netflix, but for bigger things.
