The arcade probably makes most of it's money from selling food and drink while customers queue, and along with a desire not to see patrons banned isn't really interested in adding more machines. You can play at home, but the further you get from having the three screens and two joysticks of the pods the less useful it is.

I fully agree, I realized only afterwards that it was not a general limit.
However I think you are still free to consider my advice to continue to slow down development, if you want to maintain the premise.
I agree with your approach of proposing diversified challenges to the players, this should keep a good CP dilution

As I wrote above, it was mostly an illustrative example, since I didn't know the setting or the TL.
I just assumed that, wherever there is money running, competition and a demanding audience, professional gamers might pop out. Just as a modern day example, Starcraft 2 became quite a thing in South Korea, and just searching on the web you get stuff like that:

But ok, apart from motivating the example choice, it really depends on your setting choices.
