I can imagine, but i havent seen a realy cool gaming cafe in Patong yet, does it exist? I used to play a shitload of computer games, and i still play occasionally. I guess my biggest addictions so far has been MMORPG's.
A gaming cafe differs alot from a normal internet cafe, or atleast it should! And thats why i think it would work if you spend enough money to make it hyped enough, with modern, spacy interior etc. A gaming cafe also need other things imo, such as, console gaming, arcade machines, events, tournaments etc etc. Im sure if i had enough money to have a go at this i would not fail!
