Anyoen seen this?
What do you think. I know they have reason for destroying these arcade machines but they could have at least stripped the things first.

They destroyed those machines just because they weren't making money off them.

Disgusting. Those cabs could've easily been salvaged or stripped to build MAME cabs, arcade sticks, or housed other games. It's going to be more work just to clean all of that up.
I love living in America - where we can waste things.

It's more painful to watch when you live in the UK because arcade cabs and pinball machines are almost non existant.fvgazi wrote:Disgusting.

Re: Guys destroy bunch of arcade cabs.
You would think selling them cheap would have been a better alternative than cleaning that mess up. Maybe the company's got a front loader and dumpster and cleanup costs were not an issue... don't you think those cabs and pins would sell pretty quick discounted to $50-$100 or so each? At least get something out of them.
Maybe there's more to the story here. I know that the rental business I work for would NEVER trash stuff just because it's not making money. There's always buyers willing to take our worn out or rarely used stuff for the right price. Sometimes it's worth it for us to get rid of stuff for peanuts, sometimes not, but just destroying it would be like throwing money away.

What a waste. People could've used those for shells at least.
