You can't link an article that is motivated by politics and then demand that there is no political discussions. By doing so, you are doing politics yourself.

I just looked and there's nothing hilarious on facebook, bummer. Last post with Amico in it is back on August 15th with a dude shilling his youtube video on cancelling his preorder since the $200 value(!) of music download was apparently the last straw for him. Before that there's some posts lightly making GBS threads on Pat and Ian from when one of their podcast vids were posted. There is a pinned post at the top about having cleaned up and reminding people to stop doing low content posting of memes and no descriptions, but it's from march of last year so probably unrelated to the Amico.

I have no idea how true some of those stories about Tommy are in the Kotaku comments but the dude sounds like he's a gigantic blowhard and even turned down adding Undertale music to VGL because "we only do music from real games"

Am I reading too much into this but like half of those people seem like they're either paid plants or have a gun to their head off camera to read off a script. Like this lady in particular: seems to be trying her damnedest to hit all the ease of use marketing points, every single last one of them. Also not a huge variety of people in the interview booth, and only one kid that gave a vague positive opinion on it. Has anyone seen somebody post about going to this event to try the thing in person?

Tommy can't keep his mouth shut. This man is in charge of a company as a reminderTommy Tallarico posted:Hi Folks. A friend sent me this link and although I prefer not to get involved with these types of things (I've learned the hard way!) there are some things I feel I need to clarify and talk about at this point. I will only make one post here as I prefer not to get into it with anyone and also know from experience that my thoughts, feelings and facts will trigger a certain group to attack and harass me and continue their misinformation campaign by using my words out of context. They will demand answers to their made up crap and then if I answer, they will call me a liar, say I can't take criticism and tell me I should be working instead of talking to them. Of course if I stay silent (which I've been trying to do for months) they say we're hiding. So definitely a no-win situation no matter what. But for the record (better to hear it from my mouth than a group of liars with an agenda) I may as well make a few comments on this subject matter. This will end up being a wall of text, so I apologize in advance. You can stop now if you hate these kinds of posts. You've been warned.

I'm not up to date on the CU podcast but I can believe this. I find it super suspicious that only one kid was allowed to give a verbal opinion. They have a decent amount of footage of kids interacting with it but only one "I like the game." And the one family in the booth with kids, the kids certainly looked bored.

On Pat and Ian's podcast they pull up some job listings for super vital positions like firmware and store stuff that were listed much too recently for a console that was supposed to come out months ago. They sounded underpaid too. Plus I'm sure anyone would be too embarrassed to put the Amiico on their resume or use Talirico as a reference.
