Read from Twinfinite and BAMCO's press release:


Basically, the company is dropping its North American arcades under Namco USA, since their performance has been impacted heavily by the COVID-19 pandemic and the expectation is that the difficult situation will continue.

As a consequence, Bandai Namco is also reporting reporting an extraordinary losses (which incidentally means it’s a “one-time” loss in financial terms) of approximately 13.0 billion yen as business structural reform costs.

The company will sell the businesses and related fixed assets of 34 directly owned stores, one large directly owned store, and 760 revenue-shared locations to three external companies in the same line of business.
 
I'm surpised these compnies are dropping/selling these, I mean things will rebound unless they were always looking to sell and this is the excuse?
Yeah that could also be the case.

I think arcades can always start a new arcades after the Covid19 Pandemic.

Maybe Arcades want to sell their old arcade machines and games before the value of their arcade machines and games are not worth as much because old gaming hardware can drop in value like old gaming PC and consoles drop in value after a few years.
