This is just made up on your part. I can understand not wanting it. I certainly would never have bought one.

@@JazGalaxy Yeah, well never know for sure, which is kind of why I really wanted this thing to come out so we could see, but its just what I think because of the way it was marketed, all the outlandish things that came from the CEO's mouth and everything else that is currently on the market that is a way better value.

I didn't think news would get worsen for Intellivision but this is the gift that keeps on giving. The influencers/KZbinrs 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.

[@failsafedictator]

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 KZbinrs 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.

[@cartmann94]

The collapse of the Amico will be, as Hemmingway once put it, “Gradually and then suddenly”.

If it ever gets released, the Amico will be forgotten about in a month and will likely be a huge flop. I can't imagine anyone under 40 being excited about this thing unless they're big into retro gaming and even then it's probably a hard sell. The behind the scenes drama and the coverage of it is far more entertaining than the console could ever hope to be.

[@AdamMontgomery1]

Who OVER 40 would be excited about this thing? Also, why would anyone who is "big into retro gaming" be into it? What retro gaming fix is this providing that I can't already get on a thousand other devices that cost a fraction of the price?

I think, Pat, you (and obviously Ian) are right on. You should be the naysayers for this stuff. To assume a tech venture is going to come through, or could come though, THIS FAR in it's "development" with so much money thrown into it, FROM PUBLIC INVESTORS mind you and no tangible product, no solid evidence of it's development, no concrete "we are working on this shit as promised" updates, is reckless. 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.

[@sprigganxiii9339]

Grew-up in the 80's and the very first console my older brother and I got was an Intellivision so when I saw news about a new Intellivision I was very interested! Then I saw the Amico console and thought it was one of the worst ideas I have ever seen. When I saw that Tommy Tallirico was the CEO and knew it was never gonna happen, the guy is a musician (not a Rockstyar to be clear) not sure how that adds up to CEO material.

[@MerelyAFan]

I don't think anyone only now turning away from the Amico is worthy of criticism, but they're not really worthy of praise either, especially when there were constant signs of how dubiously the whole enterprise was being run for some time. 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.

Dead in the water. The end of the month date to announce a release date was likely dependent upon the success of this Start Engine campaign. Expect a delay in an announcement and ultimately witness the company fold by end of March to mid April.

I have to wonder... Since Intellivision used snippets of videos that were critical of the Amico to make the Amico seem positive, can the folks who made those videos take legal action? 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.

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.

[@Locomamonk]

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.

As I’m watching your tracking of the Amico saga, I notice how you both are *constantly* offering analysis and ideas on how this shambling team can make things work. You’re constantly advising and offering solutions-if I were on that team, I would have been listening closely and taking your advice.

[@devilmikey00]

I can feel the catharsis in this video. The vindication.

[@jengelenm]

They put Phil Adam in front, he can easily take the beating given his history. Tommy can sneak out through the back door…..

[@rwdplz1]

Fool me once (Caleco Chameleon), shame on you. Fool me twice (Intellivision Amico)... You can't get fooled again

[@xyrzmxyzptlk1186]

Lesson here is………..avoid exposing yourself to ridicule. 🤡

[@ny_retro4971]

Great video. Hilarious how there are some who actually think the amico will deliver. I guess they would have to go with that since they invested money in it and won't see that money again. I'm surprised Nintendo never went after them about those switch allegations. Who's the "author" you guys are referring to in the video?

[@MisterCasket]

Tommy is close friends with Miyamoto, of course Nintendo doesn't go after them! Oh, and it will be released at Christmas. For sure. This time!

[@ny_retro4971]

@@MisterCasket But even though, for him to say something like that about the switch should end that relationship.

[@Rando1975]

Brett Weiss is the "author", and I use that term very loosely.

[@gvetech]

The amazing dumpster fire that keeps burning!

[@Fender178]

Smash JT finally woke up and smelled the coffee and saw the writing on the wall. Yeah the Amico is done. The best case scenario for this is they send out consoles to those who preordered but that is really pushing it.

[@WilSan74]

What he was smelling was Tommy’s ass. The video where he is in crisis over his “friendship” with Tommy is funny.

[@Fender178]

@A Volpe Yeah that is why I said that was pushing it because NOTHING is going to come of this.

[@godofwar7615]

The most important thing out of all of this is the Last issue of Nintendo Power is a really Good Read.

[@GareWorks]

They clarified (on Smash JT's channel because he was starting to finally accept he wasted $10k) that Phil Adam was joking about having a holiday. I'm not laughing but, you know, there's that... But anyway, I don't agree with you guys on everything but I've certainly agreed with you on the Amico (and the Atari VCS and the Coleco Chameleon) every step of the way. It's a shame it wasn't more in the vain of the Coleco Chameleon where they weren't just taking people's money and running, but it's still been funny to watch and say "I told you so".

TT is living a real life version of The Producers movie.

[@Aragorn7884]

RTU had a good video how Tommy screwed Shane from Rerez. Cut job on editing by Tommy 🙄😠

[@Kornheadfan]

Is this the end of voicemail Tommy? If so, it will be the biggest loss since Tales From the Game Store ended

[@rbourgoine1]

im surprised you guys showed "pheonix resale" in your ad read.lol That dude is someone i figured you two would hatteeee. Especially in this hobby.

[@songohan3321]

He also ignored the Portable-only Switch Lite which is Retail $199.99, cheaper than his scam system. Got mine used for 179.99.

[@BRBMrSoul]

A system that can run doom eternal (on lower settings of course) just fine Love mine, like penultimate game boy lol

[@cosmosofinfinity]

@@BRBMrSoul I wonder if the Amico can even run Doom 1

[@lordrayden3045]

Never thought about that

[@DjDizzy216]

Pat & Ian = Supreme Victory!

[@superbatman3762]

Even Smash JT has finally seen the light

[@thelastdragon5551]

You can’t defend this anymore.

[@devilmikey00]

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. It's honestly incredible how much of a show they put on for so so little.
