I don't eat at McDonalds for many reasons, but if I had to walk through such a Chuck E Cheese-ass entrance to grab a burger I'd have one more reason to avoid it.

Fuck mcdonalds and all that but honestly if a respected buisness had some fun and personality on their building why avoid it? Anyone can just put up a brick and mortar store it takes someone who actually cares to try and have fun.
Also Charlie's entertainment cheese is now very much like this with their few locations it's just very basic no fun houses or little rides it's just an arcade now with VERY muted colors.
Vou can roast the entrance but going to mcD and getting to play xbox inside, for someone who didnt have one at home, is a core memory
In the Fascist States of America, a McDonald’s techbro named BigBallz voice will serve you a burger with no beef, charge you double, and call it freedom.
You ask, where’s my Mcplayground? Well, it is outsourced, replaced with a sad bench on which a crying Ronald McDonald sits, holding a sign about liability.
There really is a lack of kids-themed restaurants. Rainforest Cafe, Old McD with play places, You'd think they'd be able to keep a place that caters to families open.
They'd need to charge amounts that families can afford for that to work.

Ronald McDonald is a capitalist.
CONSUME
Dude those ball pits were special, they don't exist anymore. Disease infested suffocation hazards, but special.
Typical family with kids can no longer afford to eat here since the business model is to maximize shareholder value. So it makes sense to rebrand to the only people who can afford it.
the menu prices are insanity.
last time i was in there, they wanted 3 bucks for the shitty little burger they used to sell for 99 cents.
Not even getting started on 10 dollar bigmacs and other stupidity.
someone got tired of mopping up all the jizz from the ball pit.
