Free vs Freemium vs Upfront games (Gaming)

I've had this idea for a while of a console that only charges you when you want to play. Not much, just like $.25 per game, with the option of extending your time with another $.25 if you run out of lives. And I could boost it as keeping kids more active by requiring them to stand up in front of it to play. Maybe even open up a storefront with a bunch of these in the same room so kids could get together and play.

All joking aside, there is a bar that just opened in my town that is an +21 arcade. Craft beer and dorm room food, like chips, soft pretzels and Totinos pizzas. A line of pinball machines that are pay-per-play and a bunch of arcade machines that are free. The sitting tables have various consoles also for free. The place is going gangbusters!

(They are offering a good product and service.)
