I probably am not as good as a lot of people here nor do I really follow what I read a lot of times due to all the abbreviations but this needs to be quoted for posterity. A lot of us in the US don't have the advantage/disadvantage of an arcade any more (if you keep losing you lose cash, its a damn disadvantage). We buy the game and play like theres infinite continues. It a simple motivator but if you think about it if you truly had to pay every time and the you'd damn sure learn to make that quarter worth it.
Hell have you ever played something like pac man and your parent ends up showing you up even if its been like 20 years since they last played? They probably said something "I used to play this when i was your age." When they were your age they possibly had a console but most likely really played it in the arcade.
maybe this has gone too far as a post but the quote struck me as something that needed to be examined.
