Nah, twas a real thing that a musician CEO ran into the ground with some bad decisions. Only them did it turn into a cult and ponzi scheme to raise enough funds to survive his bad choices and ideas.
Well, a dozen or so devices will probably make it into people's hands, which will mean they'll get to covet their devices and consider them iconic. I think their fervor will increase, greatly.Im sure the dozen or so creepy Amico fanboys are handling this well.
Yeah, I was interested in some InTV revivals like Night Stalker but I wasn't going to buy Amico hardware for them.Hopefully "license the IP" means they license a few of the games for someone to release on Steam. It's what I've been rooting for all along.
How did Tallarico get involved with this? Is he still doing VG Live, or did COVID kill that?

That tanks game that used stolen assets.
Do they own the Earthworm Jim license? That might explain how EWJ2 randomly ended up on NSO.
One of their major problems was that they had way too many employees.
It was CEO role-play for Tommy, so he insisted on opening (at least) three offices and furnishing and staffing them in the middle of a pandemic.
Their structure was also incredibly top-heavy, with dozens of executive-level roles siphoning up money, renting space to themselves, hiring their family members, or just lending the company their name for money without actually doing any work.
What I really despise about this situation is that people lost their jobs and I still see comments like "Great news!".
Pathetic.
I meant the dozen or so they have finished already. Because I don't think they'll secure enough money for refunds + manufacturing.You don't start a production line for "a dozen or so devices".
Holy shit... Ya delusion of grandeur."If you think about it, there's 200 million hardcore gamers in the world. We're going to let Microsoft and Sony and Nintendo, and now Google, fight for those 200 million gamers. For us, there's three billion gamers. They just don't call themselves gamers, they play their phone every day. The reality is, they're 55 percent of the entire $140 billion dollar industry."

I feel like this is barreling down the road towards a Gizmondo-style catastrophe.
"Are your parents still alive?"
Yeah I always amazed by this, even when Tommy and crew say the right buzzwords for the chud crew, shit still struggles for triple digit. Funny thing is Pat and Ian of CUPodcast biggest numbers come from Amico news and they do 20k regularly on itEvery Amico tweet, positive or negative, has such low engagement. Like low double digits at most. Intellivision should just make a few dozen units and call it done; no need to mass produce.
Forgot the part where he calls out Nintendo for selling porn"If you think about it, there's 200 million hardcore gamers in the world.

"How can we sell these people a worse phone than they already have, but in a shitty box they have to hook up to their TV, and charge them more for worse games than the ones they can play for free on the phones they already have?
I give you...The Amico."
There is a guy they took a loan from, in return they promised him the first 100 dollars from every amico sold.The investors and people who preordered are cooked, they aren't getting their money back now..."oh gee we sacked most of our staff and now have no-one to process all the refund requests lol!"
How fucking convenient...
It's almost like the entire thing's been one huge scam from the beginning! 😲

Holy shit, I just read about that. The loan arrangement stipulates the entire $810k was to be paid back by December 31st 2021, bet that dude isn't happy...
