I really can't explain in words how much I truly appreciate the people who are here week in and week out and those who are always honest and faithful to the arcade. You are the reason I fought so hard to make Super Arcade a reality and bring a home back to the FGC. But in light of seeing this, I have also seen the fake and those who are just out for their own. Ranging from players to local businesses we had ties with, the feeling is just horrible at times.



I treat everyone that walks through the doors of Super with respect and always have. I have also never taken advantage of the generosity of certain companies giving out and sponsoring prizes for our previous tournaments. But now that these companies, actually one in particular, has grown and expanded greatly, now I am just a forgotten entity and instead of expecting a return of respect or gratitude, I am basically viewed as a nuisance. No problem bro, and you know exactly who you are. Mind you this is the same person I help get a backdoor deal for a booth at EVO so he can save money once again as an up and coming small business. But that's a story for another day lol. Too much dirt to expose eventually.



Anyways, the real point of this post is this. I had a conversation with a gentleman who goes by the name Laney Sky a while back and he really opened my eyes. He summed up a lot of my complaints and expectations to me attempting to "guilt players into attending Super." I actually took a lot of offense to this but keeping an open mind I accepted that this is possibly what I was doing whether intended or not. Well, I'm done "begging" and asking for people to attend anything. I can't believe I actually begged RIP to attend my Tekken tourneys after everything was said and done. I actually stooped to that level and I regret it. I'm not even part of the Tekken community yet I tried so hard to bring them here and offered them everything. But for what? And trying to resurrect Marvel? Wtf for? I'm wasting a lot of time and effort to do all these things, but I ask again ... for what? So it's 5am almost and I'm barely getting to bed, then I need to be up by 7am to take my daughter to school. This isn't a healthy life and I need to make a change. I'm not going to continue sacrificing and giving the community all my time and effort if it's not returned. Plain and simple, I'm giving these tourneys a little more time, and if they don't improve, we going full arcade at Super and not dealing with this anymore.



If in the future the are no more locals cause the players choose not to support, then so be it. But I'm not gonna sit here and stress over mediocre turn outs every week. I'll just stick another 80-100 arcade cabs in place of the consoles and turn a much easier profit without dealing with the new age of arrogance and self entitlement that comes along with these soft ass gamers. Can only give and do so much, and when even a couple of the most loyal guys go rogue, it makes me really wonder if everything i did to get here was worth it.



If you have any questions or comments, feel free to DM or wait till tomorrow stream and I will discuss everything further. Until then, goodnight!
