    I didn't think news would get worsen for Intellivision but this is the gift that keeps on giving. The influencers/KZreadrs actively trying to get money out of people are not only complicit, they are active participants in this scam. It's fascinating and infuriating to see how bad, how blatant the attempt to swindle money out of people has been. The sheer sleaziness of evading questions and even including the influencers/cultists in on the marketing is just so disgusting to me. I can't see how any of those folks can come back. I think you're right Pat, we are on the precipice of a meltdown and fallout that will make the Coleco Chameleon look like a small blip. Gaming's Theranos, Fyre Fest, and WeWork seems to be ramping up to a huge meltdown and I can't wait to see how it happens. Pat, Ian, you two made a video almost a month ago wondering aloud if there would be an Amico meltdown this year. It seems that video was almost prophetic because the news these last few weeks has unearthed this complete disastern. The sick part is I think all of the heads of Intellivision will get away with this Console turned Ponzi scheme, and the only ones who end up on the hook will be the investors.

    Pat and Ian know these companies are banking on 80s kids now with nostalgia and if they need to be our wallet guardians, so be it. Unlike others, they have a proven track record and the streak will continue. I'm also getting tired of hearing "both sides", when in fact the pro-Amico zealots were the ones focused on toxic drama, taking shots at the CU Podcast and gaslighting for Tommy. So no, it's not both sides. One side, even you "hate" them, was RIGHT. That's it, take the L. We don't need to listen to Amico KZreadrs making excuses who have been literally wrong these 3 years, while Pat/Ian and many others were right. Turn off your feelings and look at who has the track record based on FACTS and who doesn't.

Personally I think all crowd funded tech ventures are reckless. I will let a product go to market and succeed or fail before I commit my hard earned money to it. I could have major ticking time bomb flaws, short life expectancies, buggy software with slow patches and/or hardware incompatibilities.... let the market test it thoroughly.

I know it's not slander, but the concept of taking parts of videos to basically say, "Hey, we support this." when they actually don't, I have no idea about the legality of that either way. Definitely an unethical and scummy move on Intellvision's part at the minimum.

Furthermore, the shift into skepticism within the past two weeks still feels like passive excuse making for Tommy. When he was at the center of the company as CEO the defenses for his behavior never seemed to stop, but suddenly with him in less power and another figure as a Chief Executive, now is the time to question their business history (despite much less confirmed history of console development mismanagement)? It just reeks of very selective suspicion.

    Actual conversation with an Amico fanboy youtuber... Me: Hey man! I've waited long enough, got a refund. But by the time my buddy asked for one, they had to send a paper cheque. CEO stepped down, and now they need more money. They are broke. Him: wrong. Obviously the haters got to you.

    In the past Ive related Tommy to Joe Bob Briggs in _Casino_ . Either youre in on the scam or youre too stupid to be working here- either way youre out. Whats crazy is dude's cousin in the movie asks Ace if there's another less import job "down the trough" for him to do, which Ace wouldnt give him. Whats funny is they _did_ Tommy that less important job. Tommy is Don Ward. That is all.

Pretty sure my old HTC Inspire could run them. After the 2nd and 3rd delays, I got over it. Like Pat said, they should've done a loaded peripheral vs a full blown system. On a bright side, she got the $100 back recently. Look forward to seeing the Video Game Museum post about getting a hold of one...lol

    Just wanted to add a data point to possibly help others. I preordered a Graphite Black on April 20, 2020. Last Saturday, after watching one of Pat's videos, I contacted Intellivision support via email requesting a refund. On Monday, I received an email that my order was canceled and the refund had been issued. Hopefully, it will post in a couple days. When I played the original Intellivision, one of my favorite games was Biplanes. Hopefully the Amico version will get released on some platform. Best of luck to anyone else planning to request a refund.

They are limited with how many minutes they can use a month tho.

    All this nonsense for years and it turns out the amico's big audience is like 5000 weirdo's with 5000 different alt accounts. Millions of dollars and with the backing of a small youtube army of shills and at the end of the day all they managed to garner was a small, insignificant, irrelevant and pathetic little micro niche of an audience even before the whole charade fell apart. This crappy little android footbath, that most aliexpress knockoff consoles would be ashamed to be seen with, got time at E3.

    After watching all of these CU Podcast videos on the Amico chronologically, its interesting to see how Pat was still on good terms with Tommy in the beginning and how and Pat and Ian were trying to be respectful in their questioning of Tommy, his plans, and the viability of the Amico. Then things took a turn, likely after negative backlash from the Amico crowd against Pat and Ian. I guess money (or the promise to make money) made people disillusional and not question bad logic. At least we got a good clip of Pat doing an angelic "Amico" chant in one of the early podcasts covering the Amico.

    I saw them as well. It took a sudden turn when pat was reviewing the Amico trailer and supposedly misquoted the price of the Amico. That was enough for Tommy to lash out against him, and the rest is history. After that Pat and Ian had a couple of videos in which they weren't sugar coating their opinions anymore, which were honest but sounded really harsh, talking about mainly the looks of the games and the Amico not being competitive. After those, they mainly focused on the shady business/marketing practises.
