So technically, what they simply did there was just replacing the ownership of their arcades, right ?

I mean, at least Wohoo for the preservation effort :)

Sure, except that the new company won't be able to keep them open forever with huge limits on the number of people allowed in. They're screwed, just like movie theaters, in the medium term, unless governments get the f--k out of the way and let businesses do what makes sense for them.

Really sad, at this rate it will end up being bought by another larger Japanese company

If it were a company that respected the brand and made some good decisions with the existing IP like releasing collections or remasters of that massive back catalog currently collecting dust, and giving new games the development time needed to be solid, then I would be all for that.

But since 2020 isn't a person, it's instead content to hunt people down and slowly kill them. And we still have two more months to go!!
