I could see that if people were, y'know, interested in playing those games on a platform that has, uhh, y'know, blood and violence and sexual content, and.... and kids in sexual compromising positions, and rape, on the Nintendo, if, uh, uh that's what they want, then they'll release the games on Switch.

This is like the 3rd or 4th time they are entering into a test production run but don’t worry this time it’s totally legit

Looks like the Intellivision Amico trademark has been abandoned.quote:IP lawyer here to give some insight into what this means, since another commenter requested a professional explanation.

Yep, the Intellivision Amico is dead. Pretty safe to assume this console was canceled.

Can't believe selling a bad 2013 Android phone in 2022 isn't a functional business model. What is the world coming to.

Probably not much new to this thread, but Pat recently guested on Seanbaby and Brockway's podcast and the three talked about the Amico scam and Tommy in general.

Not a bad podcast but you could tell Pat wanted to get to serious Amico info, whereas Sean and his cohost were all about making jokes.

That's certainly a severe rugpull. Did someone run off with all the money or were they just plain delusional?

Ian was the one who mentioned what happens if someone dies, and it wasn't at 4:45 either. Pat says, verbatim, "you can do whatever you want with your own game." They then describe why repro labels are bad if people try to pass them off as original. Pat specifically mentions The Flintstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak going for $400 more with a better (repro) label. The video you posted is also five years old and they have discussed it since then.

I'm sorry, at roughly 4:30 is when they say "You can do what you want with your own game" then proceed to say "But it matters to US". And they may have revisited the topic later, but Pat and Ian came off as such man babies in this video that it turned me off of them overall. And besides, I only posted the video because you said that they never cared about what people do with their own collections when Pat also clearly says that it matters to them what you do with your games.

Ooooo, so we're moving into the transparent scam phase? Or just having a physical "location" that's a PO box while loose ends are tied up as the company winds down?

I am certain that at some point in the past, this console and company had legitimate plans for this not to be some sort of shady grift. That point is long gone, however. Christ, at best, this was still worse than the Ouya.

Oh I'm sure they started by intending to release a nostalgia cash in console, this probably leans more towards the latter of wrapping things up and closing shop in like a year.

I guess this could be a general Tommy Tallarico thread. So they're replacing the "oof" sound effect from Roblox. Tallarico made the sound effect for PC game Messiah originally, and it made it's way into Roblox. According to this Kotaku article, Tallarico caught wind of this and came to some sort of agreement where people would have to pay $1 to use the sound effect. It appears that the agreement must have expired. https://twitter.com/Roblox/status/1552037832578846720?t=qwYkHxGiXeVNaKdVNjTtEA&s=19 No word on how much either side was asking for from the looks of it. Tommy may be a reluctant scammer and chud rear end in a top hat, but by all rights, he did make that sound effect and should get paid for it. I got no defense of Roblox. I really don't know much about the "game" or company, but I hear it's they're awful and exploitative. To me, it's a Let Them Fight situation. I don't want Tallarico to have more money but it would probably be more beneficial in the overall grand scheme of things if Roblox had less money. A sudden cash injection would probably make for another fun chapter in the Ammico saga at the very least.

I said come in! posted:There is no reason to not just switch all development of these games to other consoles. If they had signed an exclusivity agreement, then they may not be legally able to switch them to other systems as long as the Amico is still "coming out". It definitely reads like they either want to switch the games to other systems though, considering his line about "Obviously nothing is ongoing at the moment for the Amico as we need to see if Phil & co. manage to pull it off. If they do though, then yes, the intention is to do further work."
