    Quoted from boilerman:

    shook my head when i saw this, old habits are hard to kill

    Boohoo, 6 months.
    My arcade was closed OVER A YEAR.
    Thanks New York State! 13 months of paying rent and utilities on a space we legally couldn’t use.

    Claiming possible profits as “losses” is a bit ridiculous. Obviously everyone lost out, but saying they LOST 70k is disingenuous.

    We returned, we were frugal, and
    we opened several new locations. It hasn’t been easy, we’re still paying off those brutal debts, but we are on the right track!
    Either Steven is being greedy, or he has been telling exaggerations or lies and the “rich-relative” money tap has been turned off.

    Quoted from Electrocute:

    Maybe they aren’t his. Just a thought.

    You’d have to be crazy to lend games to that guy. I think there’s a set of stairs at Gameseum...

    Stephen spend a lot of time bragging that the machines were his, and he bragged about buying a shitload of games all the damn time!

    Earning money is the issue here, if he sold games and worked for his money, nobody would care! People would pity him, even try to help! Stephen has asserted many times that he is unable to work because he has IBS and chooses to mooch and never sell. Plenty of us hate selling our precious games, but begging online is just shitty when you have ASSETS worth TENS OF THOUSANDS! Bad mouthing everyone else isn’t a good idea in a tight-knit community either...

    It would have been for the comment left.

    Can we crowdfund $4 for Electrocute to leave a comment?
    Money well spent!

    Quoted from sevenrites:

    Did you happen to peruse through the rest of his criminal history and docket sheets? Along with issues with maintaining vehicle inspection, registration or speed, there was recently a $12,000 judgement against him for rent in arrears.

    Didn’t pay a dime of rent and still had to close down? That’s impressive.
    This whole thing is just whacky. None of this HAS to be this way, VanStrangler makes these choices.
    He can’t resist shooting himself in the foot
