Lets face it the Amico was always going to be DOA. Its an overpriced smartphone that plays cheap 'remakes' of old classic games and only serves as a very small niche for people's nostalgia for Intellivison and their games.
The console itself only has inhouse (and very simplistic) retro style games that would not look out of place from games in the 2000's made in flash. Heck phones have more advanced games on iOS and Android for decades and are light years ahead of it. And to make things worse it that its priced the same as an Xbox Series S and costs more than a PS4 and Switch Lite. On top of that when they were advertising their games, they were spotted using assets literally copy and pasted and stolen from other games and when they caught out.. they said they were placeholders (lol).
Then you have Tommy, who always came across as super defensive character when coming to discussions about the console and interviews which doesn't help at all. In any case this was always a disaster in the making..
But yeah let this be a lesson to those who do invest in crowd funders. Most don't even see the light of day.
