I think that security is too much of an issue to do something like this.
It really needs to be in the lounge, or nowhere. I also don't think
that we should censor ourselves from showing the violent/bloody games,
as that's the way the FPS industry has went and is thus a large part of
our audience. It's just a lot simpler to boot the kids, or if we aren't
willing to boot them permanently, boot them after 7:00 or something and
then flip the gaming machines into gaming mode until morning, then go
back to terminals for the daytime.
