He'll eventually cobble together some kind of Android box with whatever pack-in games they managed to complete, and send that out to pre-orders with the promise of a proper firmware update that may or may not actually come later. That's the most likely way to bridge the gap between "we don't have the means to see this through to its proper completion" and "I'm too stubborn to not ship *something*".

Either this is going to be like that phantom console and stay vaporware or, its gonna be full of shovelware they've just knocked up to get that number of launch titles they've stated. Its a shame because I may have picked one up at 150 but 250 is ridiculous. Oh well, guess if it comes out, I'll get one from the 9.99 dump bin in my local game store when it fails. Only upside I can see is, if its android based, you might be able to use it as an emulation box when they stop supporting it. Well done pat and Ian for calling this spot on.

Someone close to Tommy needs to stage an intervention. This whole thing is a midlife crisis that's gone on way too long. He doesn't want to do the work of a video game company CEO. He just wants to roleplay as one in a desperate attempt to recapture some magic for the favorite brand of his youth. It's been clear for a while now that they just don't have the people in place to make this thing come together properly and the longer it goes on the sadder it gets.

It had the potential to be a good selling item, look at the VCS and the Evercade. The problem is the "manifesto" that comes along with it. Take the "family friendly", "all together again in the same living room", "no DLC and no updates" and Thomas's ego out of the equation and you would have at least an OUYA (given the thing would actually release at some point). I really can't believe people fell for this crap, even the Evercade has firmware updates that patch software in the carts, we don't live in the 20th Century and have to move on and even if at times today feels worst than ever, we are actually better than before. Man, if Mr. Tallarico's family would have stayed in Italy or have moved to some Latin American country, we'd have yet another one of these "democratic" dictators.

I doubt that they are ever going to actually launch. If they can't put together 20,000 units for a launch and they can't finalize some simple games after such a long time then there is a very real possibility that Amico ecosystem has show-stopping flaws that they can't overcome. They aren't selling advanced AAA games on cutting edge hardware. There has to be a reason for the delays and it sure as hell isn't what Tommy is putting out.

And Tommy just put up a new crowdfunding proposal on "Fundable" in which he admits to (and this is probably a huge exaggeration in TT's favor) that the OS is only "90%" done and the backend (you know, the thing you would need to create an account, buy games, activate your "physical products", etc) is only "80%". He's down from hundreds of developers with 50 launch window games to just 40 "in development" total. Also remember that software engineers will tell you the last 10% takes half the time, so their OS should be done in another two years. Again, this was something that was meant to be in people's homes in October 2020 and Tommy had said was "99.9%" done last year. Funnily, he claims in his new pitch that the hardware is 100% complete, yet the Amico still doesn't have its FCC certification. Without it, IE doesn't even KNOW if the hardware is complete. It could require (costly, lengthy) changes to gain certification. He also modified his "tens of thousands of pre-orders" to just "6000+". "Tens of thousands" is 20000+ at a minimum. So he either had a lot of cancellations or he's just pulling numbers out of his ass- although being more careful now that he's drawn the attention of the SEC. To soften the blow, he now added some new "partners" but lists them as "in process" including Crayola and Playmobil. "In process" has no legal meaning. There's no contract signed. Tommy could have randomly sent an email to Playmobil that said "want a ride in my Ferrari?" and could say negotiations were "in process". Even with a contract, deals still fall through. There was a signed contract for a Superman movie starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Tim Burton. That was a "done deal" with a contract, money changing hands, and everything. Have you seen a Tim Burton Superman movie with Nic Cage? So "in process" is just more meaningless puffery like his talk of a four-player Contra (bet the Mom 2.0s will LOVE that).

And the gift is....a bunch of MP3s. People speculating things like t-shirts didn't consider that even if they were unsellable crap merch, Tommy would still have to pay shipping. So of course he sent some files he had lying around. "Gee, where can I get a copy of the Advent Rising soundtrack?" asked no one ever. Check out G4's review of Advent Rising (when TT worked there) to hear Adam Sessler mock its score in particular (with a very sarcastic "Ooooooh!") and then outright say it was a piss-poor Halo ripoff (TT's musical score and the game). But watch all of Tommy's white knights pretend like this is the biggest reward ever (but what about the friends we made along the way?) and how the delay is totally worth it. Heck, I predict a few will pretend that if they NEVER get their pre-ordered Amico, their money will have been well spent just to get these MP3s.

It had the potential to be a good selling item, look at the VCS and the Evercade. The problem is the "manifesto" that comes along with it. Take the "family friendly", "all together again in the same living room", "no DLC and no updates" and Thomas's ego out of the equation and you would have at least an OUYA (given the thing would actually release at some point). I really can't believe people fell for this crap, even the Evercade has firmware updates that patch software in the carts, we don't live in the 20th Century and have to move on and even if at times today feels worst than ever, we are actually better than before. Man, if Mr. Tallarico's family would have stayed in Italy or have moved to some Latin American country, we'd have yet another one of these "democratic" dictators.

I doubt that they are ever going to actually launch. If they can't put together 20,000 units for a launch and they can't finalize some simple games after such a long time then there is a very real possibility that Amico ecosystem has show-stopping flaws that they can't overcome.

If someone like that who isn't even following can smell the bull without even approaching the pen, you know it's not good. My personal take: 90% of the Amico's problems can be solved with a roll of duct tape applied to Tommy's mouth.
@SaviorGabriel
3 жыл бұрын
And the other 10% can be solved with a boot up Tommy's ass. After you pull Tommy's head out of it first, that is.
I have been waiting for this video ever since I read about it in an article a few days ago.
And Tommy just put up a new crowdfunding proposal on "Fundable" in which he admits to (and this is probably a huge exaggeration in TT's favor) that the OS is only "90%" done and the backend (you know, the thing you would need to create an account, buy games, activate your "physical products", etc) is only "80%". He's down from hundreds of developers with 50 launch window games to just 40 "in development" total. Also remember that software engineers will tell you the last 10% takes half the time, so their OS should be done in another two years. Again, this was something that was meant to be in people's homes in October 2020 and Tommy had said was "99.9%" done last year. Funnily, he claims in his new pitch that the hardware is 100% complete, yet the Amico still doesn't have its FCC certification. Without it, IE doesn't even KNOW if the hardware is complete. It could require (costly, lengthy) changes to gain certification. He also modified his "tens of thousands of pre-orders" to just "6000+". "Tens of thousands" is 20000+ at a minimum. So he either had a lot of cancellations or he's just pulling numbers out of his ass- although being more careful now that he's drawn the attention of the SEC. To soften the blow, he now added some new "partners" but lists them as "in process" including Crayola and Playmobil. "In process" has no legal meaning. There's no contract signed. Tommy could have randomly sent an email to Playmobil that said "want a ride in my Ferrari?" and could say negotiations were "in process". Even with a contract, deals still fall through. There was a signed contract for a Superman movie starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Tim Burton. That was a "done deal" with a contract, money changing hands, and everything. Have you seen a Tim Burton Superman movie with Nic Cage? So "in process" is just more meaningless puffery like his talk of a four-player Contra (bet the Mom 2.0s will LOVE that).
Tommy's posts and communications make me kinda sick tbh. He reminds me of narcissists who manipulate their poor girlfriends with lies and promises that never materialize. Pretty gross...

Kind of like Tommy looking into potential investors’ eyes.
Retailers over here in Germany like Media Markt, Saturn and Amazon rescheduled the release as of today to December 31st 2022!!! That means they don't know sh*t and this is not looking good. I was never much interested in the Amico but I wanted to check for myself after release... well, I guess I complete Cyberpunk without any glitch or crash on my Steam Deck way before I speed run corn hole 😂

Human beings never want to admit that they’ve been conned. It’s fascinating to watch but also very pathetic and sad. Boomers and Gen X Vintage video game enthusiasts have money and unfortunately there are scores of bottom feeding con artists circling the waters.

OEM Pete Turbo Joe Smash JT all attack me for saying how Pat and Ian have been correct since the start
Don't mind delays. It's the pretending to be further along than they actually are that annoys me.
And the gift is....a bunch of MP3s. People speculating things like t-shirts didn't consider that even if they were unsellable crap merch, Tommy would still have to pay shipping. So of course he sent some files he had lying around. "Gee, where can I get a copy of the Advent Rising soundtrack?" asked no one ever. Check out G4's review of Advent Rising (when TT worked there) to hear Adam Sessler mock its score in particular (with a very sarcastic "Ooooooh!") and then outright say it was a piss-poor Halo ripoff (TT's musical score and the game). But watch all of Tommy's white knights pretend like this is the biggest reward ever (but what about the friends we made along the way?) and how the delay is totally worth it. Heck, I predict a few will pretend that if they NEVER get their pre-ordered Amico, their money will have been well spent just to get these MP3s.

The Amico doesn't need to release, because the Amico, in the end, was the friends we made along the way.
I'm shocked! Oh wait.. No I'm not...
First heard about the announcement via Nintendo Life. What a shock. But to their credit they also posted an update about Analogue restocks.
I hope no one else suggested this,but maybe the Amico should put out cards like the ex prez did to help their company out lol.They don't do anything but i bet a lot of these Amico fans would buy those(just like the ex prez fans).
