The Culture: We're Getting Real Close To The Clubhouse Breaking Containment

The Professor tries to give good news.

Dump the storefront and focus on providing the secure Third Space. That's where the money is now.

He's so close to a proper Clubhouse. All he really need is to do the CostCo thing: charge membership fees (to price out low rents, culling 80% of his problems right there), and as a perk members can ship orders of gaming stuff to the Clubhouse for pickup. He doesn't need to stock a damned thing, and only needs to have some space set aside to hold packages, but I don't think he's ready for that leap just yet. He will once he runs the numbers.

This is where the money will be going forward. Less Endless Product Slop. More Secure Playspace Locations. Member-supported Third Spaces with curated and vetted membership rosters are where things have to go, so it is going to be the case that those willing to make it a premium will be able to charge a premium price for it.
