At least in the US, those "deluxe" cabs with motion just never seemed like a viable deal to me as a kid/teenager visiting arcades.

It was like, $1 per game compared to $0.25 or $0.50 for a normal cabinet.

As a young person with limited income, it DEFINITELY mattered to me... I preferred to sacrifice a little bit of motion and enjoy 2x or 4x the playtime on something else. I mean realistically you'd be spending $20 an hour or more if you stuck to deluxe cabinets. At that point (according to my teenage mind) I was basically halfway to buying a home console game that I could keep forever.

Operators really should have priced those deluxe cabinets the same as regular games during off-peak hours.
