So when do we get the nursing home/gaming Lans? Because we have whole generation of gamers who are all in their 60's now. So bring on the cool nursing homes.

I feeel like it’s coming soon. In nyc there are already gamer bars where you can claim a table or a tv or even a room for any games they have or games you want to bring. Nursing homes are gonna be filled with video games, table top games, even toys like beyblades
