Chuck E. Cheese has set its sights on adults after years of catering to children. The pizza and entertainment staple has decided to create video game complexes for adults called ‘Chuck’s Arcade,’ but many posters on X are skeptical and downright hostile towards the venture.

Some posters feel that the adult arcades will supplant entertainment meant for children.

They feel there’s too much focus already on gaming entertainment for adults.

It does feel like some companies want adults locked into an eternal childhood of games, entertainment, and toys.

Several commenters pointed out this idea already exists - it’s called Dave & Buster's.

An adults-only version of Aladdin’s Castle is what many older people crave. Lines of classic arcade games like Pac-Man, Asteroids, Galaga, Donkey Kong, etc. Plus, pinball machines as well. Not modern games or games that dispense tickets like Dave & Busters. Maybe the backlash wouldn’t be so strong against Chuck’s Arcade if this were the plan.
