Ask HN: How to build a Game Center on recurring revenue?

3 点作者 nosph超过 6 年前
My company sells gaming desktop computers for about 10 years. We accomplished a well know website, social media followers and customer base, but business is declining year after year as less expensive models from well-knowed brands are taking the market.<p>In our physical store we built a Game Center with high-end computers and gaming monitors and peripherals and some VR stations, revenue is good but still not enough to support the business.<p>I&#x27;m wrong to think that providing gaming experience would be more future proof than selling desktop computers? It worth pivoting?<p>At the current pace, we make 3MM views on youtube, have 12k&#x2F;daily visitors and sells just about 150 computers&#x2F;mouth.<p>I&#x27;m contemplating a future where we can pivot this audience to charge a monthly plan (about U$ 20&#x2F;m) to a membership where you can use the computers freely if they are available or rent by the hour by a cheap fee if not.<p>We can grow it vertically (literally) in our building renting new rooms to accommodate the demand and franchise over the country if the model validates itself (we are not in US).<p>I know that this isn&#x27;t a usual question, but I&#x27;m a founder without many strong connections and today I&#x27;m really thinking if I&#x27;m deluding myself with this idea so I reached you HN.<p>I know that there&#x27;s a LOT of variables at play and I&#x27;ll be happy to clarify them all, I&#x27;m really curious about HN opinion<p>Should a premium Game Center focused on PC experience a better and more scalable business that selling the PC itself?
