I read a pretty good theory about the Amico that claims it was all done with the express purpose of attracting a buyer, before any kind of production would begin.
In the ideal scenario: Tommy and his cohorts would sell the entire business to an interested party and ride off into the sunset, their part in everything fulfilled. Manufacturing was never supposed to be their responsibility.
Scams like the Chameleon and Amico made it so I second guess any time a small company comes up to "revive the past" with a new iteration of a classic brand.
@slider1983 There's literally screenshots in that same reddit thread of times you were stalking YouTube personality "That Star Wars Girl". You're calling other people stalkers for documenting times you were actually stalking someone.
@slider1983 Just yesterday, Mullis was scolding you on his discord for ranting about people you think are out to get Tommy. He literally called you obsessed.
@Quick_Man The arrest record really puts Tommy's online behavior into perspective for me. Abusers do tend to also have narcissistic tendencies. Just like Tommy.
What always stood out about the Amico concept to me is how it seemed to be a solution looking for a problem. Who was it supposed to even be for?
Children are smarter than what Tommy and Phil were giving them credit for. The average six year old already knows how to play stuff like Minecraft and Slime Rancher. Simple game BORE them.
Casuals and old folks have no shortage of free-to-play time-wasters on the Apple store and Google Play. They're not interested in forking out $10-$15 for a game with all the depth of something from the Atari 2600.
Retrogamers don't want oversimplified versions of games they can get cheaper, on platforms they already own.
Couch multiplayer is alive and well. Amico wasn't going to "bring it back", as it never left.
@Quick_Man He cried on the Amico discord about me posting Tommy's arrest record. Hilariously, Mike "I love you, Tommy!" Mullis told him that posting a link to a publicly accessible official police record is "libel", then made some vague remark about wanting to fight. He knows grown-ups can hit back, right?

It is morally correct to spread ROM dumps of Kai Magazine Software games.

Not only does he use the word "obsession", but he then tells you even bringing it up in his discord is banned.

@slider1983 He literally used the word "obsession" to describe your behavior. Do I need to whip out the receipt?

@Toy_Link I've seen Pedro's Steam wish list. Real "The FBI needs to check his hard drive, STAT!" stuff.

@slider1983 You're just salty that you can't pin down a target. I've seen the depraved things you're into. Judge me all you want.

@slider1983 Here's a link to Tommy's arrest record.

He beat his wife!
Now it makes sense why Mullis is such a big fan of Tommy's. Domestic abusers stick together.

@slider1983
It figures that you would defend a guy who was arrested in 2018 for beating his wife. I've seen the stuff you're into. That tracks.
