  • В начале 2015 года о такого рода «интернет-кафе-беженцах» в Японии был снят документальный фильм. В картине сообщалось, что многие японцы из-за отсутствия постоянной работы вынуждены жить в небольших каморках в интернет-кафе, где проводят большую часть свободного времени, сидя в сети и играя в онлайн-игры.
