This is gonna be a long read, so for those of you that have a short attention span, run, run away.
Mk, so I've been thinkin about this for a little while now and I thought I'd share my vision with the masses.
I've only one hobby, games. I could say computers, but really the only reason I fvck with computers is for -> games. If you were to ask me what I wanted from life, it'd simply be this: A roof over my head, sustenance, and as much leisure time as possible to play my god damn games.
With that said, I give you my brainchild, which remains nameless and fvck you cause I just thought this shyt up, so for now it'll be referred to as Disney World for Gamers.
What is Disney World for Gamers you ask? Sit down my son, and I'll learn you. Imagine a giant mall sized complex in [insert major city here]. This complex will consist of a housing area, and a sort of community center.
The housing area will consist of rentable rooms which can be shared by 2-4 people. Nobody under 18 will be allowed to reside in a room which will be paid for monthly, and some rooms nightly which will be available to gamers of all ages, for tournament events only. But the idea is to provide a cheap affordable living space for gamers on a permanent basis. I'm still deciding whether commodities like kitchen should be provided in each room, and whether bathrooms/showers should be public or private. Internet access might be included with the room, kind of like a University campus, and also slow like one, with the option of purchasing your own line like any other apartment. Utilities would probably be included in the monthly bill.
The community center will be a humongaloid (big) open room which will house the largest BYOC LAN center known to man. This will also include an area for console gaming (with lockboxed systems), and a seperate food court. Yes, even gamers must eat sometime. Within the food court corporations such as Taco Bell, Mickey Ds, Arbys, BK, etc. can purchase a lot which they will independently control and maintain. This also opens up employment opportunities for residents, though not the greatest jobs, hey, income is income. Who knows, maybe there'll be an on site theater, and of course there has to be a nickel arcade, which will charge general admission to get in, and games in the 5 to 15 cent range, as well as a large freeplay area with oldies but goodies.
There will be no internet access in the BYOC LAN area, this is for games only. The BYOC area will also be sectioned off into two parts, one for residents, and one for visitors. The visitor side will rent out seats daily/hourly for non-residents that wanna join a tournament, or just play on the largest local network in the area. No visitors will be allowed to enter the resident area of the BYOC, which will be free to use at any time for residents of the center, but residents will be allowed to cross over and sit with any friends that may be visiting. This is mainly to keep all children under 18 in one place. So anyways, it's basically E3/Quakecon in terms of size but daily instead of annually.
Now, you start with one of these Disney World for Gamer centers, and then you monopolize and franchise.
You sell the rights for a new center to a prospective business-person. The franchisee is responsible for all construction costs etc., and must also follow strict guidelines as far as what is to be built, and how. This way all Disney World for Gamers will remain the same, just in different locations. The franchisee then receives all income from rented BYOC seats and event fees, as well as rent from residents, and various companies within the food court. Payment is then forwarded to the head honcho (which would be me if I had the money to start one of these centers) as either a percentage of monthly/bi-annual/annual revenue, or as a very large one time fee. Once it picks up speed you'll have a number of these Disney Worlds throughout the country in cities like Orlando, LA, New York, Chicago, yadda yadda. Each would be independently owned and operated to lighten the workload, but all follow the same guidelines to offer gamers everywhere the same experience.
In comes the monopolizing. Now that there are centers spread throughout the country, and within reasonable distance for most citizens to gain access to big events, you can standardize tournaments. Sponsors such as ATI, Nvidia, Linksys, Bawls, blah blah blah now have one main event to focus on rather than hundreds of small disorganized ones scattered throughout the country. No more CAL or CPL, no more local events for small chump prizes. Gaming is now a spectator sport, and finally the Superbowl event gamers and event coordinators have been wanting it to be. Tournaments will be divided into regionals, and winners of the regionals will be flown to one center to compete for the Big Kahuna. This gives most everyone a chance to enter. Participants will be charged an entry fee which can then be potlucked into the main prizes and help cover costs etc. You'll also receive a great deal of help from big companies looking to get their names into the scene.
Tournaments will be both locally managed, with smaller prizes, as well as centrally managed for the larger tournaments and much bigger prizes. Basically I want there to be a tournament for everyone, I hate going to a LAN and finding out the tournament is for a suck ass game I don't even play. Not everyone wants to play CoD Search and Destroy, bomb defusal is played out, lets keep that shyt in Counterstrike. I want suma that Team Fvcking Deathmatch.
If it really takes off you can have hundreds of smaller centers scattered throughout the country, as well as the big ones in the major cities. This doesn't hurt the local LANs since they can now be incorporated into the main scene, so in fact it helps them.
At its roots Disney World for Gamers is a place that provides cheap housing, rented out to people who all share the same love for games as you do, and creates one large gaming community. And at the same time there's potential for a multi million or even billion dollar industry to those that are willing to undertake it. I wish I had the money and prestige to start something like this, but all I have are dreams and ideas. Maybe it'll catch on and something like this can become a reality, I'd love to see it happen. Ideas, suggestions, comments, w/e are welcome. Help me make Disney World for Gamers a better place, k thx.
