This is just outing people that are in their 40s.

You could be in your 30s. Movie theaters had them as a way to kill time into the 00s sometimes. I believe a chunk of the Dreamcast library were arcade ports! I think? Idk

Heck there's a small arcade in the lobby at my local multiplex.

I've got family in their early 20s that would have an answer to this

I was mostly joking. I know that arcades still exist but I didn't think it was super prevalent.

its definitely not super prevalent anymore, nobody wants to do the maintenance for one thing

Even the ones that are just nostalgia bait for adults are usually kinda trash, "toss a couple machines in the corner of a bar and call it an arcade bar" type deals.

Some decent ones are out there but you have to seek them out usually
