Mike Kennedy must've been watching all this happen and asking himself what he had to do to get the amount of leeway and undeserved goodwill the Amico got from Atari Age. Make some decent game music 30 years ago? That's all it takes for a bunch of "gaming was better in the 80's" nerds to lose all critical faculties? Having to retreat to a private Facebook group has got to be a blow to Tommy's ego. He was already operating on the fringe with his cosying up to small KZfaq channels and sticking to a niche forum's fanwank thread in order to feel secure. Now he's had to retreat even further in order to keep telling himself that a game called Cornhole being one of your flagship launch games is actually a great idea...such a fall from grace for the great Tommy "I met Myamoto once" Tallarico.

I instantly cancelled the founder in hopes to recoup my down payment. The complete lack of professionalism of Tommy instantly made me realize this console is being fathered by a man-child and that is never a good thing for a company. I have seen it too many times.

Something I wonder about is if the increasingly nonstop dubious news about the Amico in the last six months has made people at AtariAge and even the Amico KZfaqrs increasingly unable to rationalize Tommy's behavior and decisions. Once upon a time there was probably a way for some to write off the personal attacks, controller issues, initial production problems and so as the growing pains of a new console and/or a passionate response against the haters. But between a third delay, the utter nothing that is the system's physical media, and now the Battle Tanks controversy all happening one after the other, I can't help but wonder if even its most ardent defenders can't help but see both how deep its problems go and how habitually Tommy has broken his promises about it. The Amico's rot is so beyond controller lag & bad dice physics that the cognitive dissonance now required to deny it is becoming too much for people.

The thing is Albert was still banning people left and right just a couple days before he finally wised up to Tommy. He literally wrote a post at the time saying "People keep saying Tommy lies and I've asked them for proof and they never come up with it" when people complained of the clear bias in Tommy's favor. Excuse me? There's no proof of Tommy lying about the Amico? Start three years ago with "I'll never crowdfund" or "I'll never take people's money until they can play the real thing" and "No ports!" and work all the way up to Tommy gaslighting about what gaming journalists wrote about the Amico. Tommy claimed "See! This article verifies there's no lag!" when the article stated the exact opposite (Tommy thinks he's the only one who can use Google translate). Heck, you could prove Tommy is a liar just using Tommy's own posts on AtariAge. There's was a six hour period where Tommy posted "The reviewer said there was no lag". After people read the article for themselves and quoted it back to Tommy where it says "there's lag on this controller", Tommy followed later by "The controller the reviewer used had lag because they were using an old firmware and it's since been fixed." Both those of Tommy's posts can't be true (they could both be false). Albert is far from earning back all the respect he lost- if he can ever earn it back at all. At least he's not pulling a Gamester81 and pretending to be confused why he lost all his credibility and doesn't get why everyone is mad at him. "What? Just because I hosted an hour long infomercial with Mike Kennedy where I called all the skeptics a bunch of drunken haters, everyone is mad at me? I'M a victim here, Guys!"

​@@BainesMkIIaccording to the various people who work with Albert, he'd been wanting to get rid of it for some time but two of his close friends who helped moderate were very much on the Amico train and he didn't want to cause issues with people who'd been his friends for decades. He finally lost his patience. Albert gets a bit of a pass, I think he was just trying to keep everyone happy as he could by being hands off.

AtariAge Amico thread reminds me of the HD-DVD group that infiltrated a lot AV boards during the HD-DVD Blu-ray battle. Amir from Microsoft whose title was HD DVD evangelist spouted so much BS about how HD DVD was superior over Blu-ray. AVSForum seemed to become a bought off forum that anyone that bought a Blu-ray player or PS3 was treated like an adversary when they tried to explain the advantages of Blu-ray. Amir was a jackass. ‘Blu-Ray’ 50GB discs weren’t needed but a 30GB disc from ‘HD-DVD’ was just riiiight. Eventually they started spreading a rumor that HD-DVD had a 51GB disc coming. So HD-DVD was superior. Needless to say the 51GB disc from HD-DVD never materialized.

@@XanthinZarda It's just how the disc layout pit structure worked out. It's like how CD-ROMs started out as 640MB (and it is just a coincidence that's 64x10, nothing to do with data structures) but later discs were 700MB. Manufacturers found they could pack the data in tighter (as they dialed in their manufacturing) without breaking compatibility with existing hardware. HD-DVD started out with 15GB per layer, but when they tested triple layer discs (HD-DVD was very flexible with layers so you could have a DVD layer that was readable with an older DVD drive, plus an HD-DVD layer that only worked on HD players) they found they were too conservative in their original data packing and could squeeze 17GB onto a layer without any hardware issues. 3x17 = 51GB.

@@MrTBoneSF and that disc never saw the light of day beyond a prototype. The supposed ‘completed’ HD DVD spec was just as fluid as Blu-ray at the time. Blu-ray had a similar thing with underestimating their layer capacity as well. When 3D Blu-ray was released their discs were near 33GB per layer they just never made a big deal about it since their competition was gone by that time.

@@MrTBoneSF the 3DBD profile updated the capacity per layer. So it was there but they did not support anything beyond dual layer. Not sure if any studios released 33/66 discs even though it was supported in that BD Profile. It might have only been an option for a 3D title due to possible compatibility issues. UHD BD requires BDXL I believe due to the triple layer discs. Consumer BD drives for manufactured media were limited to only having to read up to 2 layers. If PS4 only has a standard BD drive then it completely makes sense why it can’t support the new format. I think some consumers are being a little obtuse expecting an existing console to be able to play a new format that was introduced well after the consoles introduction. The PS4 Pro maybe should have included a compatible drive but I also think Sony didn’t want to compete with players from their CE line-up. I think this is why HD DVD never introduced its triple layer disc in that the players they had already released would not have been compatible with the early drives. They were going from the formats launch how the spec was ‘complete’ so you didn’t need to worry about changes to the format.

Never happened. Pat literally presents the real reason, 100% facts from the man himself Albert, yet I can guarantee the losers are still gonna hate on this podcast, continue to blame the Amico's failures on them and plug their ears to facts and criticism. A part of me hopes Amico is successful just so Pat/Ian can sue for libel down the line. As Ian said, no one is invincible.

A couple years ago TE said they were doing modular synths (the 400 and the 170) but instead of making "eurorack" modules (a widely used pre-existing format) they thought they had to reinvent the wheel and create their own format. The modules didn't have power protections on the jacks so if someone stuck a cable from a Input jack into another Input jack they could cause electrical harm to their modules. Eurorack makers, on the other hand, always add protections on jacks. Despite looking like cheap plastic gear, TE modules were just as expensive as normal eurorack modules thus .. what was the point? Despite saying they would have more modules in the future, they haven't announced anything since. Likely because no smart person would buy a niche format that could accidentally burn out. Oh, and they changed the screen on their OP-1 and charged a few hundred more for it. They didn't change anything else. After announcing this, stores immediatly changed the price on existing stock from its original 800 to 1300 price overnight.

They also just did a computer case which was like 4 pieces of painted stamped sheet metal and some electronics from ali express. You needed to bend the metal into shape yourself, thread the screws yourself and assemble it. Oh, it can't even fit a proper graphics card in it despite not even being that small for an ITX case. All for the low low price of around $200 lol. Teenage engineering smelled it's own farts a long time ago. Now anything they sell is jacked up because they are a "name".

The OP-1and OP-Z both have long-term issues, too. Case warping, dials/knobs falling off and other more 'normal' wear and tear issues with the pots and switches themselves. There's a bunch of weird design decisions...Not fully baked designs or software ecosystems and it looks like they are just going to jump from one thing to the next.

OEB Pete/Classy Gaming is just an overly-optimistic guy who was optimistic of an outsider console with the Amico being like a weaker Nintendo Wii. Of the Amico supporters, Pete’s by far the least problematic (former) fan, as well as The Crow Continuum; Smash JT was perhaps the worst as he was a direct attacker of the CUPodcast hosts. At least both Pete and Crow cover more than Amico; both have had much greater focus on the Evercade and Crow specializes on pinball and homebrew games.

Sure, make a compulsive liar your CEO, see what happens. For fun, ResetEra renamed their discussion thread to Amico Fun Conversations as to bogart the web traffic that would have been going to that search. I like that kind of moxie. The new thought for the Amico is that it's a fan fiction console. Not a fictional console like the Pico-8, but someone's idea of a one handed console fantasy. I do like how Tommy tries to pretend to be a fence sitter, and then he pulls phrases right out of the phrasebook of _he who shall not be named._ Someone went ahead and removed the awards from TT's Wikipedia page, wonder how his ego will feel about that? I was sceptical of Albert, but the guy has nothing to gain by covering Tommy's butt at this point, especially since Tommy did nothing but flamebroil AtariAge's reputation into the gutter. It is going to be such a red letter day when someone like DigitalFoundry or a teardown channel gets their hands on it (if it exists) and points out the use of lowest bidder parts.

The way tommy talked about the benefits indie devs have on the amico compared to anything else is actually really favorable to me. I sent my portfolio which is small to them. Detailed what i know and my skills. And never heard back. It sucks more that i havent even gotten a rejection email. Never heard back. I want to give it an honest attempt from a dev point..

Atari Age taking too long to deal with an issue and even then only just washing their hands of it? As someone who got burned (luckily only for $50 and not the full final purchase price of $299) by The Golden Ax's mythical 20th Anniversary (later 25th, and I think even 30th before I stopped getting updates) Atari 7800, I can't even pretend to be surprised. While the Ax situation was fueled by personal difficulties, the powers that be at Atari Age refused to even allow anyone to question the situation much as was the case with the Amico as it dragged on for years with increasingly sporadic updates.
