I dont remember seeing this service mentioned on this forum ever although I could've missed it, but did anyone read this article on "the Netflix of Arcade Cabinets":

Good to get exposure for classic arcades regardless.


Ginsu Victim:

$75 a month?!? Yeesh...

BobA:

Guess they couldn't deliver and pay for their site too.   Site is already down.

Fursphere:

Probably overloaded.

Since they're turning arcades back into a commercial business, I wonder if the cities will step in and require permits - since basically you could easily put one on location - nothing stopping you.

With how idiots act at pinball shows and arcades shows beating these old machines to death, I doubt this business will last.  Its one thing when a kid beats on a machine.  Its another when that snot nosed little punk is now 35 and is still beating on the machines like a jerk. 

When you drop $1000+ and build / restore the thing yourself, you tend to respect it a bit more.
