Man Busted for Playing 'Apex Legends' on Airport Screen

[erek]

Heh. This is pretty funny. sign of the times, I guess anymore?

"Simmonds said that airport staff approached the player, “and very kindly asked this person to unplug and cease using the monitors at the airport,” she said. “Apparently the traveler, very politely, asked ‘May I please just finish my game?’ The answer was no.”

His Apex Legends game interrupted, the player picked up his PlayStation 4 and moved on."

OKay.. if it was a monitor that runs the lame news....more power to you!

If it was a monitor that had the flight/terminal data... big no no!

I've seen a guy using his PS4 and psvr as a screen in an airport and thought that was pretty smart, this man though is not lol.

How about you READ the article first, THEN comment.

"the man was playing his PlayStation 4 on one of the monitors that displays maps of the airport and flight information."

Kind of refreshing. An airport story that involves someone doing something somewhat wrong that didn't devolve to screaming, shouting, spitting and charges of violating security rules or terrorism. Well handled by everyone involved.

Now that is a hard core gamer.

This speaks to an unserved market. To increase foot traffic in a venue you need a draw. Would be nice to have a "Gamer's Dungeon" in a bar let's say.
Edit: And yes, I claim (open) copyright for the name. It goes along with my plan for a place called "Day Traders $VIXN". The lawsuit would be free advertising as it's spelled different.

Meh all you. Dungeon denotes keeping passengers locked up. Which isn't what they need at an airport. I'm gonna name my video game places "binary brothels". Get a quick hit of the good stuff and turn gtfo.

Get used to it. You're in an airport.

I just want to be an anti-social media influencer when I grow up. But I'm not growing up until the post-curmudgeon phase - if then.

gee, I wonder why they wouldn't let him finish his game even though he said, "please"
