The marvel vs capcom2 one

Why are cabinets so expensive?

I get they are bulky and licences exist but how do like 15 games make a 200 euro price increase

My internet tech came to setup a new ONT and had a bunch of time to kill so we talked about hobbies, I guess he builds arcade machines and was showing me pictures of all the wiring and woodwork he did plus programming to get it all functioning and the custom pc inside. It looked like a ton of work.

I gave him some spare 12th Gen i7 mobo combos for him to use in his builds as he said he was looking for more parts and usually puts in a 3080 video card in each

They can get really technical pretty fast
