    @jaybird3rd  I just want apologize because I thought you locked me out of my account. Because yesterday at 2:00am I was signed out of my account & received an email that said my account was lock for security purposes. 

     

    I assumed you locked my account after the warnings. I didn't check my email again to see any other messages. I just did and it wanted me to reset my password. 

     

    I just want you to know that this was not a stunt. I never came to the forum to get ban or troll. I just wanted to talk to Tommy.

    @Tommy Tallarico First, show me the trash that I been spewing. Plus, if I was bias why would I come here to talk to you man to man. I could have stayed on youtube. But I know that you are more comfortable here. So, I am here. I am ready to talk all things amico. I am a potential customer with other retro gaming friends. Explain to me why their are no problems with the amico.

    @grudgeq  Sorry, you are wasting my time. I never wanted or asked for your opinion in the first place. I was talking to someone else. Then you felt the need to involve yourself in the discussion. 

     

    And yes individuals have giving money to the amico as part of an investment. Smash JT and other youtubers said they gave money to be invested. My point was don't take money from the public. Then bad mouth the Ouya, Atari VCS, etc. 

     

    P.S. Don't involve yourself in someone else's discuss. Then complain about having your time wasted.

    @bigdaddygamestudio Yes, it does matter because that multi million dollars ad campaign. Will go against Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo multi multi multi million ad campaigns for the ps5/xbox series x/ switch ads.

     

    So, Tommy is going to rely heavily on retro gamers to help the amico. That is why he is doing so many interviews with game channels. He needs the free promotion and wants retro gamers hype. So, if he angers the retro gamers with rhetoric, misleading sells tactics, and unprofessional behavior. Than the amico will be in huge trouble.

     

    The 12k preorders are by retro gamers not soccer moms. Soccer moms could careless about a new Earthworm Jim, Ecco the Dolphin, etc retro gamers are the ones hype.

    @grudgeq Let me be clear. People on kickstarter expects value in return for their money i.e. whatever they funded. Fig.co investors expect something in return for their money i.e. equity. Neither party are just giving their money away.

     

    No I am not grasping at straws because Tommy said several times he is not the Ouya he is not asking money from the general public. Then don't. Just take preorders only. Tommy is the one grasping at straws complaining about a few mature games on Nintendo, making it out to be the norm.

     

    And the fact that Tommy was able to raise 20-30 million dollars is great. But don't make it out to be some phenomenal feet. On CNBC American Greed, people raise money like that all the time. And no, I am not saying Tommy is conning his investors like they do on that show.

    @jaybird3rd I does matter. It shows consistency. If you see a problem why wait 20 years, to talk about it. Yes, it does matter if you are going to point to 2 -3 games out of 2,400 than that means that you are fear mongering. And all the stuff you said against Jack Thompson was BS. You are throwing away years of representing the game industry against people like Thompson just because you have a new game console. Ok, I hope it is worth it. 

     

    Also, it does matter the fact that Tommy is focusing all his attention on Nintendo. For one, he often claims that they are not in direct competition with Nintendo. Good than what they have on their console is none of your concern. Or, they are your competition and instead of showing games unique game play. Your have to scare people away from the console. All of which is surprising since Nintendo posted record sells for the Switch. 

     

    Oh, and this whole idea of preventing kids from going into a door that is scary. Parents had their kids go right thru that door with the Wii. Over 101 million times to be exact. They were so successful that Tommy is using them as the template for the amico. Why would Tommy use the Wii as a template if they had these deviant games on their console. Why not use the NES they had couch co op and none of their games were rated mature.

    @grudgeq What you don't comprehend is that when you crowd fund with kickstarter the person that is funding the product is expecting something of value at some point. When you invest in a company you expect a return on your invest i.e. value. 

     

    The is not the Red Cross. People giving money to both of these entities have an expectation of getting something at the end of day. Notice that I never brought up preorders! You see one can be disappointed with Tommy and still carry a thought. What a unique concept.

    @Loafer See that is what is frustrating. Tommy has stated in several interviews that Nintendo has a new business model in regards to mature games. Tommy knows that this is not true. Tommy and Victor Lucas reviewed Conker's Bad Fur Day almost 20yrs ago.

     

    Even the Wii had Mature rated games. So where is this whole idea that Nintendo is taking a new approach to mature content. I remember Madworld, Dead Space & other games on this console. And if Tommy had problems with this content why wait now to talk about it. Why didn't he bring these things up when he was on tv???

     

    Also, why single out 2 or 3 games on the Switch, when the console has well over 2,400 games. That's not even 5% of the games with this content. And why not talk about content on xbox/ps4. I can play simulated sex scenes in almost all of the God of Wars games, yet Tommy has not mention that. He is only focus at throwing shade at Nintendo. I wonder why?????

    @juice @relic gamer. If you take money from the general public. That is crowd funding. You can change the verbiage to investing. It is the same thing. For @bigdaddygamestudio the reason why Tommy is still taking money even thou development is done because he needs to raise money for future games.

     

    Remember, potential game developers will have their games funded by Tommy. Where are those funds coming from????

    @Loafer I have to disagree with some of your statements. I wouldn't mind if Tommy were to say," Hey we only have family oriented games on our console. The other consoles have Mature rated". That is fair enough.

     

    However, when he starts saying," If you want to play games with rape, see genitals everywhere, children in compromising positions. I am sorry that is fear mongering. What is sad is that both Tommy & I lived thru the 90's- 00's. We heard this junk from people like Joe Lieberman & Jack Thompson. Now that Tommy is launching his console he is channeling their rhetoric so he can sell his new system. That's wrong on so many levels.

    That's where you are wrong. All because you change kickstarter to fig.co their is still crowd funding involved. Not that I mind crowd funding but don't change a web site and say it is different.

     

    No matter how many talented people you have working for you, if the person in charge is not solid it will fail. Just like the old saying "a fish rots from the head down".
