How so? Arcade-style games aren’t confined to physical arcades. Plenty exist on PC. Raptor: Call of the Shadows, for example, was never in arcades but plays exactly like one.
The core design philosophy—short sessions, high intensity, replayable loops—is identical. So I don’t see how the logic doesn’t apply. A fast-paced game is still a fast-paced game, no matter where you’re playing it.
I think when people refer to"arcade" it conjures up visions of the 80s and 90s of being present in an arcade and pumping quarters into machines.
I think if you’re gonna talk about modern arcade style games you should probably make that clear.
