It's not you.

On the forums, I keep hearing kids asking if there's going to be an arcade
version of MK:DA, and/or saying they should make a version for arcades.  The
question then becomes, "WHAT arcades?"  I know of at least two arcades in my
area (one fairly heavily frequented) that have closed in the past year.  I'd
be surprised if others haven't followed suit.  The high price per game these
days ($.75 a game?  Yikes!) along with a dwindling selection of games and
consoles which are beginning to rival the power of the dedicated arcade
machines have all contributed to the decline of the arcade industry.  
There's a REASON Midway left the arcade business a year or more ago...

Just my $.02...
