Are arcades actually dying in Japan? Or are these bullshit claims by Western journalists and YouTubers?

I don't live there but my pal from the school times does. He never said anything about arcades specifically, but he told me that he is working much more hours and more days than 3 or 5 years ago. The reasons are not restricted to his life, it seems a widespread problem. On one side the cost of living skyrocket (mainly because rent prices) and on other side there is a big workforce shortage. So both the companies and the employees are interested in extra hours. It seems silly but it is not, people overworking will not have time or energy to go out for leisure like they did before. Maybe arcades are getting a hit because that.

    My insurance has a thing called, " Nope, we aren't paying for that." that they like to use on us all the time. Then we play the "Ok we will go to some other insurance company." then they miraculously say ok we will pay for that.

    @Xdqwerty, Its funny because crypto cannot be recovered, just another one of those Nigerian scams that ask you for a Google Play giftcard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBs0AG_MN3g
