The thing that baffles me is we're still stuck in these form factors that are mostly made for

a) standing b) in a group of 1 or 2

The cabinets don't have to look like this anymore. We don't need a CRT, we don't need the full size cabinets.

Seems like a real opportunity to design a more bar-friendly option, tables with multiple monitors that operate like the old desktop/seated machines or similarly.

Standing is fine but after awhile people don't want to smoosh next to each other and stand in front of a crappy screen. But most of these places are too attached to the retro aspect, imo.
