Honestly it’s less time than ever but it’s still time in an era where convenience is taking over and younger generations are less tech literate. It’s like Netflix V piracy in many regards. Example, let’s say I wanna play something obscure like congo bongo or Bruce Lee from C64 that’s a pain to configure and if I change platforms the state saves are gone, ect. A solution like this could make it stupid easy and you could be gaming on your TV like in decades past. I’m not a fan of streaming but I imagine an arcade that preserves these niche titles is going to be easier solution for most rather than whipping about a raspberry PI or PC and for me especially keeping my progress on these titles is useful when they don’t have save systems.
