    Quoted from longwetsocks:

    For operators who don't want to sell their games off right away, I saw some arcades around the US renting their games out on a monthly basis. If you can rent your games out to collectors you trust, it's not the worst way to minimize losses while we all go through this troubling time. I know I wouldn't mind tossing a few hundred at a Chicagoland area arcade to help out and have a new game to play for a month or two.

    I would definitely rent a game to help someone out.

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    So far our plan is that masks will be required, but gloves will not be allowed.
    Point being, aside from the horrid tactile sensation, gloves are crazy-effective germ-spreaders because they are never washed. Think about dat.
    We will require every guest to wash their hands BEFORE entering as well as UPON EXITING...

    +1 for no gloves. A lot of people don’t don and doff gloves properly which contaminates surfaces and themselves. Plus you will see people grab personal items like their phone, keys, or touch their face while wearing gloves which defeats the purpose.

    Quoted from NicoVolta:

    I’m going to use fans to create a wind tunnel. Although it may result in higher humidity and temperatures, it will guarantee a high level of fresh airflow... which may allow a one machine distance rule to be practical.

    Check this out. Air flow could be an issue as well. It could be a very sweaty summer.

    Bit Bar Salem is suing MA Govenor Baker for not lifting the COVID ban on arcades. This place is awesome by the way. It has a decent size room of pinball games and the entire restaurant is lined with arcades
