The Scenario
this is a spiritual successor to my first-ever timeline What if Nintendo Stayed in the Arcades and some things from that timeline will be adapted into this one as well. but this timeline will be much more ambitious as I not just talking about one company staying in the arcades and the effects of it; it will be a timeline of drastic changes and effects to the entire gaming industry as the arcades are still up to this day are very popular worldwide. here are many of the companies that are affected by these TL changes.
