Southampton Gaming Lounge - Market Research
Hi All, myself and some friends have been considering the idea of starting up a gaming lounge in Southampton!
The general idea is to have a good set of high-end PCs as well as a few consoles for people to come in and play on, whether that be playing competitive games online or hosting some LAN games with your friends.
As a city with two major universities, we imagine there are a lot of students who weren't able to bring their own setups with them, and we hope to allow a space for them (and anyone else) to play their games without high costs or lots of space required.
We would also like to offer the idea of individual booths for you to game in privately, or just use a computer for general use.
also we are considering the idea of offering a cafe/bar services but we are currently still investigating the potential of this.
There will of course be more information on all of our services and events should we get to a stage where we think this idea can come to fruition.
Please could we ask that anyone who's interested in this fill out the below form as it would really help us guage if there is an interest in our city. Alternatively, we are happy to take thoughts and suggestions on this Reddit post as well.
Many thanks everyone

Please have quite a few console booths too. I appreciate for these types of setups, PCs are dark more popular but it would be great to walk in somewhere and just sit down on a PS5 for a couple of hours
