    The Amico truly is the disappointment that keeps on disappointing, just when you think it's hit rock bottom and can't seem to get any worse, they somehow find a way to keep making it worse.

    Playing those games with the Amico controller must be a nightmare. But also proves that Tommy never signed or neither talked with the owners of Sesame Street and Care Bears IP.
    One of the many red flags from the Amico Scam.

      @@F1JV I will take your question seriously this once, even though I answered it many times already.
      Nintendo is selling the video game experience, whether it's serious gaming or casual or otherwise.
      If people want to shop for video games, they will choose amongst a Switch, PS, etc., not Amico.
      Amico is NOT selling video games. They are selling an "experience" of playing together in the same room, just like board games have been selling for over a century. Only, Amico is USING video games instead of cards and dice.
      Different market. Different mindset.

    By virtue of existing we know these games are finished works. Since they all run on smartphones we also know that they work in an Android/Linux environment and are not very demanding.
    But we’ve never seen footage or demonstrations of these games running on “Amico” hardware. We’ve never seen demonstrations of their use of the controller. As far as we know, all of this footage is of the existing mobile or PC versions. They’ve never appeared on Alverado’s “roadmap”, nor have they ever been given the “I’m just waiting for the source code from the developer” excuse. So why announce these games?
    To attract investors who didn’t know better. Like all things Amico, the goal was to sell the idea to investors who would contribute money or buy them out. Hopefully these investors didn’t dig to find out that these “exclusive games” could already be had for free.
    Very little of IE’s game library actually exists (remember Tommy saying they had 80+ games in development?). But they wanted to sell investors the idea of them. They’re still at it, trying to sell you a racing game with one track.

      @@SomeOrangeCat 100%. Mrme on the Atariage forum once said that Tommy simply saying a game was in development made it so. He's another one of the shills who, no matter how badly this Amico debacle goes, will do mental gymnastics to convince others and maybe even himself that everything Tommy and Intellivision said was somehow true and that they never lied. The long list of announced games and licences (sorry, partnerships) were just meant to fool people into thinking they had their ducks in a row, when in actuality very little work was done. Tommy even spent money on licences for Sesame Street, MLB, Hot Wheels, and American Cornhole League. Those last two turned into Side Swipers with one track, and Cornhole that has major bugs even though it was supposed to be a pack-in for a system that was due out four years ago. Oof.

    Mustache McGee is getting desperate. Remember those bundles of "physical products" they were selling a while back. Well now John is letting you buy them individually...for $25 a pop. He then erroneously advertises them as "boxed edition games" that are "available on Amico Home." There are no games in the boxes and almost nothing pictured is available on Amico Home. An RFID chip that tells a server that's no longer online, to download software to a console that is never coming out is not a "game" in any sense of the word.

They have the technology & the industry experience & the hunger to be the main disrupters/winners going forward.
