Over1.20 thousand closed down in one year. What will be the future trend of internet cafes that fade out of people's sight?

In the future, most internet cafes may disappear directly, and a small number of internet cafes may be transformed into e-sports halls and can continue to develop. In fact, the existence of Internet cafes is because in the past, most families in China could not afford computers, and computers were more expensive, which gave birth to the industry of Internet cafes. However, with the development of society and industry, firstly, computers become more popular, and many people start to install computers at home. Secondly, computers have become cheaper. With the progress of the industry, the price of digital products has almost dropped, which makes it easier for computers to enter thousands of households. This is also the core reason for the decline of the Internet cafe industry.

Of course, there are other reasons, such as the popularity of smart phones, the public began to surf the Internet through smart phones, including the development of mobile games, which gradually reduced the user scale of netizens. Although PC games such as League of Legends are still very popular, these games alone still cannot support the development of the Internet cafe industry. Coupled with the impact of last year's epidemic, even if Internet cafes are closed and computers are not turned on, they still have to bear the rent, so many small Internet cafes have closed down directly.

However, large Internet cafes in some big cities have transformed into the e-sports industry, attracting gamers by attracting e-sports enthusiasts and holding e-sports competitions, and achieved good results, but other careful Internet cafes are not so lucky.

The future game industry is still promising, but for Internet cafe operators, the era of waiting for customers to come to the door has passed, and only the business model needs to be changed. ?
