AEI
An Overview by Kevin Williams. The article drops a lot of names, but not a lot of pictures. So I am listing a few companies to cover that. The big news is that there are very few arcade Cab style games, and the arenas are getting standardized to survive the incoming waves and losses.
Another article by Kevin Williams that covers the AEI show at a different angle. This time it's about XR and competitive socializing.
