RE: Competition is Good

Yes, competition is not bad. It will give more exposure to your business, and you all can be benefited. Maybe those owners get scared to see your innovative ideas. lol...
By the way, what are the reasons you have to close that business at some point? Thank you so much for sharing this story. :)

Actually, I think that it was more EGO thing than fear of the new ideas...
Well, there were more factors that lead to that... When I came back to my hometown and open my gaming place, people were not accustomed to playing games in the network... against each other... They were playing GTA, and CounterStrike against bots, etc... My idea with tournaments was to "lure" them into the world of network gaming, but other places had problems with computers, networks and didn't solve them on time...
Another problem was that home Internet connections were better and people played more online... But still, that wasn't that big problem, as people like to gather physically and yell at each other in-live... lol...
And finally, I had to close at the end because there were no more players left... I (we) didn't succeed to "educate" them on time (before others have closed) about the beauty of network playing, and I couldn't pay expenses for renting and taxes with my earnings...
You have a lot of experience in business as an operator. You did things and know what works. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience!
