Sarang: I'm more sensing the potential of a 2D only machine built now and what could be launched on it. Like I said, I wish it wasn't restricted to E10, instead being bumped up to T.
Such an ESRB rating is worthless, considering that most international ratings use 13/15 instead.
The main advantage the Amico has is the passion Tommy has invested in the system. I have seen him in several videos and he even responded to me a few times in the comments and he is driven to have the Amico succeed.

He had me at Moon Patrol honestly and a new R-Type game sounds intriguing

"Intellivision asks fans for more money, reveals massive Amico debts

Latest fundraising round requires Intellivision to list over $8M in debt, other warnings.

The Intellivision Amico's wild ride as a possible video game console may soon come to an end, according to financial disclosures tucked into the company's most recent fundraising announcement.

On Monday, Intellivision Entertainment Inc. began its fourth round of public prelaunch fundraising in less than four years. The fundraising campaign, which aims to raise $5 million, includes a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that contains page after page of risk factors for the company's future. While such disclosures tend to include broad statements of potential risk factors to cover all foreseeable catastrophes, Intellivision's filing goes into specifics about the company's current debt—and suggests a clear timeline for the game console's potential dissolution.

In particular, the company tells investors that it has "generated no revenues" since its formation in 2018, and its handlers predict that Intellivision can only operate until July of this year at its current zero-revenue pace before needing to drastically change course."

Could mean that the fourth installment of a certain franchise ends up not being Amico-exclusive after all, if it's still in development.

My answer: No. Go eat shit and die :-D
On reflection of this long, fascinating trainwreck, I have to wonder if this orchestrated by someone to remove all these people from the industry at large; as an applied application of the Dilbert Principle:

Whereby magical executive positions (titles that do nothing) and middle managers are fast tracked to remove them from the flow of actual/important work being done.

The Amico is screwed financially 7 ways from Sunday, and I don't think even Delaware's loose definition of business laws are going to save them from insolvency. And this whole thing is going to be a resume killer. Tommy might try to fall back on VGL, but is anyone going to be game for him?

Protip for Tommy: Don't visit the UAE, they still apply debtor's prisons.

Addendum: I also recently sent an email to the FFF Bayern, inquiring/suggesting that they get their money back from Intellivision Entertainment by any means necessary; seeing as their entire grant was based off a fucking unpatentable lie in the first place.
