How many people remember…
The only one left in my city has a weird mix og older and newer games. Some of them have singleplayer campaigns but all have multiplayer (very few exceptions like Doom)
So its not a place to go and play assassins creed or tetris.
How many people used to…
I mean, if you’re able to find one, I don’t think anyone is going to think it’s weird. The owner and employees would also likely just be glad that they have someone coming in.
Haven’t seen such a cafe since 2016.
They are more of a thing in Asia, as well as in developing countries around the world where ownership of PC hardware is prohibitively expensive, not just due to lower incomes, but also because computer hardware is costlier and more difficult to get there than in the developed world.
Theres 1 in my city
But there used to be several
The real answer right here, I dont think ive seen a proper gaming Cafe in like a decade. Id love to see them still exist but in my neck of the woods most people save for their own gaming PC or just get a console
I think if hardware prices stay where theyre at though maybe a feasible return could be seen but we dont even have the LAN party spirit around anymore to draw groups for multiplayer like we did back in the day
I have seen teens play Roblox at libraries. Does that count?
Roblox is available on phone too. So going to libraries for that sounds a bit inconvenient, especially if the libraries are limiting the usage.
When I was in my 20s, 3 of my friends who didn’t have their own PC would go to a local cafe to play games. Mostly Battlefield 2, but they would also play HL2 and other SP games if they didn’t go together.
