I suppose there are many factors but it just seemed natural. I remember arcades being less popular. Games were more complex and appealed to fewer people. New games were a rare sight and most games were not maintained at all. Pins were always more rare than videos probably because of expense. Newer generation didn't have the same arcade experience of those that grew up in 70s and 80s. Computer gaming really took off at the time and that is what I got into.
