I don't think that's really an inflation thing, more that companies have become much greedier and people more willing to accept their high prices these days. Here in Japan arcades are still mostly ¥100 a go, which is probably around $1. So they certainly don't have to charge a lot more than that... |
I Just think with the release of the PS1&2, the need for arcades died out in the west. People didn't see a point in spending 50p-£1 for a few rounds when they could buy the game for £30-35.
I must have spent over £300 playing Time Crisis 1&2 competing for the highest score . Over £100 on Tekken and then there was Street Fighter, Soul Blade etc.
Now that they no longer have light gun, dancing and certain other games on consoles, or a severe lack of them, they should try reintroduce them.
