Why are we paying attention to what morons on Twitter think? The actual value of those items is nowhere near the prices on those unsold Ebay auctions. Nothing says lazy journalism like articles focusing on what some rando on Twitter posted.
I’d like to know how the negotiations with Nintendo and Sony went for Sega’s third-party support. How did the other hardware makers find out Sega was going third-party? Was it a surprise or was it obviously something that they knew would have to happen? How far in advance of the public announcement did they know? Did anyone try to get exclusivity agreements with Sega? Could be interesting to find out the details from former execs, if possible.
They're obviously doing this because they need cash now and can't wait for the hardware production issues to resolve. Or they know the hardware production issues will never resolve and they're trying to make whatever money they can off this thing before the company collapses.
On the bright side, they'll be able to tell themselves that this failed because of COVID, not because it's a fundamentally flawed product that never had even the slightest chance of succeeding.

Re: Intellivision's Offices Are Now Empty And Available, If You Want Them
Every time I hear about someone who thought this thing was a good idea, or would be anything other than an unmitigated disaster, I'm reminded of the phenomenon of "harbinger customers": https://thehustle.co/the-customers-who-repeatedly-buy-doomed-products/
Re: Intellivision Has Significantly Cut Its Staff To Help Amico Over The Finish Line
Why won't someone just kill this thing already? It's just cruel at this point.
