Convince me not to open up a gaming cafe

I want to open a gaming cafe in my town. Few basics first, its a relatively small city with around 100k people. And there are already 3 other gaming cafes working pretty nicely.

Now I do know that it is a very large investment and the ROI is pretty slow, with 3 other competitors it is questionable if one small source of earnings will be enough.

So what I thought is to make a sort of community, along with having a regular gaming cafe I would also have a separate space for streamers and teams. I would sponsor these streamers and teams, I would also have them make guides, reviews and similar, possibly attracting sponsors (already have a few local ones interested).

And on top of that, I would also organize different events, competitions and such.

There are enough people interested in doing everything I've mentioned.

So assuming that having people or money for any tasks isn't an issue, what are the things I could add to my gaming cafe/community?

Of course I have to make a profit in the long run, but any suggestions and ideas are welcomed.
