Recently learned my threshold is $1/play, which I happily pay to play the newer and top shelf games. $0.75 for next tier, $0.50 for the older SS games.
My local arcade installed TH @ $1.25/play. I realize not a huge cost to play, nor much more than the $1/play I am already happy to pay, but does seem to cross some imaginary line for me. I will not be exploring this game beyond occasional casual play.
I think this objection was coupled with my disappointment seeing one of my favorites, SM @ $0.75/play, removed from the floor that same day. And Star Trek out of order.
