This update was so infuriating because it contradicts his past fake updates. He first claimed they were preparing the test units, then said they were working on a firmware update, then said that he was looking for a production solution. What a damn liar.
The Amico's secret sauce is time travel technology. They were developing it but they couldn't manage to control it, resulting in these backwards production timelines.
I'm not even seeing email updates any more. Guess Phil gave up on that act. Though in Tommy's defence, it might be like a SpaceX rocket, where they've put it on the launchpad, fuelled it up, and then watched the entire thing explode and have to start again from scratch. Or they're all liars.
0:19. If they had a $150 million line of credit, they would have had enough money to manufacture the consoles. Are any of the cult members still producing pro- Amico content or have they all thrown in the towel?
He was clearly falling for broker speak when he said this. Either that or they spoke to someone who had associations with someone with a $150m loc, but no way that Tommy or Intellivision was anywhere in the same solar system of actually using it, or sniffing an agreement to.
There has been speculation that a major backer decided to 'back out'. Not sure if this will ever come out as true, but regardless Tommy shouldn't have presented this as a selling point without being 100% sure.
look man you don't want to start telling nordic governments that you spend majority of the year there even if you were. anyway why the fuck did the guy say he lived in sweden tho
@@poboxchristmas380 Yep. And when tommy went ape$h!t after SamRed leak the specs. Talking about lawsuit over specs. Tommy knew he could not justify that $250 price point.
Funding is always difficult for radical inventions ,which is why the $150 million will have 2 main sponsors. We can all expect an amico launch as soon as "Elvis Presley ,and Michael Jackson" sign the funding release forms !!!.
I feel sorry for the guy Tommy took over from, 40 years he held the licenses together (save one or two) until his death and now, Intellivision properties have been sold off meaning no chance of a Atari 50th style collection for them
The beautiful irony here is that Tommy set the tone by claiming to keep screen grabs, and files on "haters", which motivated a bunch of people to start keeping receipts on him, and verify his past claims. Didn't go well, eh Tommy boy?
Looks like Amico was finished but then failed to communicate with all devices properly. So they needed new firmware. That would explain the expiring HDMI license and manufacturing deposit loss.
Wait, the HDMI licenses expired? Oh, oh no... So if the Amico does launch, does this mean it will be a "Plug and Play" composite cable system? Woe be to those who bought physical merchandise games box ary, coin holder, stylized nft card" products.
@@Artimidorus It means you don't get the HDMI license until your ready to launch. So unless they renew it means its not close to release yet. If the console never comes out those that bought the games could have some the rarest collectibles ever made. Games for a console that never came out. Sort of like stamps that were printed with mistakes were worth more.
How does a company have $150 million on the ready for manufacturing, yet they need a meager however more million crowdfunded from a public begging fest in order to get off the launch pad? How about just take some of that $150 million and maybe set your expectations a bit lower instead of making it the public's responsibility to accomplish your grand visions?
He has trouble with his lip like that in random videos, like he can't move it at all. Almost like he's been rubbing cocaine on his gums shortly beforehand...
Tommy already predicted that they will take the money and run. When he says they are on the launch pad and that the rocket ship is already built and they just need the fuel to take off that's basically him saying we already got our getaway vehicle (the rocket ship a.k.a. his Ferrari) we just need your money so we could take it and run.
One of many lies. Hopefully somebody out there has clipped all of those weird interviews with obscure small channels where Tommy is talking about how he's doing 90% of the music for all Amico games himself and how there's going to be an S-card slot for game carts, etc. The dude told some big lies in the early days!
Dude is beyond full of himself and the intellivision amico. We have the best of the best of everything. Yeah, sure you do bud. Everyone was really itching for another "Atari" based console. Listening to that man talk makes my ears bleed.

The only 'production solution' he's been working on is the sort that comes in bottles with screwcaps.

Cool, we should have an update in a couple weeks...
He might not be "living" in Europe, but he's certainly hiding out there.

It' was finished and now it's going to be Super Duper Finished!
His mother will be very proud.
Oh look, a life sign!
This was probably the worst time to show a sign of life; given that Amur is looking to squeeze.
If the hardware was completed. Then why in all their ads and devs have to use either cell phones or Xbox controllers?
Remember when they had to release the specs for that round of crowd funding? That's when people should've really known what was up.

Just look at the dude's face at :26 when he attempts to say licenses. I mean, this dude. This freaking dude.
He has trouble with his lip like that in random videos, like he can't move it at all. Almost like he's been rubbing cocaine on his gums shortly beforehand...
It's like a mixture of Corey Feldman and that old dude with the sideburns from the Sopranos, only with less Amico.
@@gdubbz884 HAHAHAHA
@@gdubbz884 the botox is real with that one. A little too many toxins have reached his head I fear.
Him saying “project” makes it sound like some solo project for a lead singer, not a company that’s spent MILLIONS.
The Chinese Democracy of consoles

Trying to find link to the post. Where is it from? I don't see it on Republic Amico page.

That rocketship needs a lotta fuel let me tell ya.
Maybe it isn't a smart idea to insinuate you're keeping the can kicked when your can is under threat of being melted into slag by litigation?
