  1. Crappy clientelle. on State of the U.S. Arcade Industry 2004 · · Score: 1

    I spoke with a cop a few years ago when they opened a Gamewerks in our downtown area. He gave me a perspective on why most towns fight giving up permits and allowing places such as this to open up. He told me that thugs and gangs pretty much take these places over when they are in a central metro area. He was actually paid more by Gamewerks for being an off duty, fully uniformed cop-as-security than the city paid him for being in his black and white. What this creates is overworked police staff, but the city wouldn't give them the permits to open unless they had the police uniformed and working security as protection against what has happened in other urban areas. I know Dallas and Miami had some really wicked gang problems.
