I agree. I chose to play and now I am being punished for staying out of trouble in bars or on the streets looking for something to do. I can't go to Cherokee everytime I want to play a game. I would rather spend that money here in my home town. And the game rooms are a social site for me and alot of my other playing friends. I have met alot of super people there that otherwise, we would have never met. It's the place to go to unwind. Just like a bar, bowling alley, sports bar, only I prefer non drinking establishments. These places offer that. And the ones I go to treat me like family. I feel welcome there. Even when I've had a bad day, I can go there, talk to someone who understands. They are my "bartenders" without the alcohol. Don't take them away, please.
