@Toy_Link I assumed this is aimed at me? I mean why would anyone take as truth what those two have to say? They're hardly reliable and depending on who you talk to have some wild, incompetent takes they air.

Also in regards to supporting RFID cards it was obviously good enough an idea for Nintendo to adopt it. We are heading towards a future where physical media is being discontinued. This offers the most realistic way to merge physical with digital while allowing the reselling of what the consumer buys when they finish with it. Of course I'm going to support it. Feel free to be suspicious then of someone who supports physical media. If that's my apparent crime, good! 👍

Considering the Commodore Amiga is my favourite computer this is terrific news. I would be interested in knowing more detail about how you managed to buy all the trademarks back since there was so many. I'm still however sceptical this will lead to anything more than a niche hobbyist interest. The last thing we need is more Power PC's with the Commodore name on them. We're still a long way to go to be on the same page as Microsoft and Apple back in the 80's and 90's.

@carlos82 Wow wow, there's some stuff here that is incorrect:

"but it very much became a scam when they realised a long time ago that they couldn't deliver but still kept asking for money."

That's not a scam. The raised financial investment once they realised they would need it. Sure you can argue they did use their budget accurately but that's more incompetence than a malicious agenda.

"and had Tommy making stuff up."

That's him by himself doing that because we know TT exaggerates or overpromises on stuff that hasn't been finalised.

"given they don't sell anything"

Did you not see the article? They're selling games?

Was it really necessary to add a video link to the Bert and Ernie of gaming podcasts? 😆

I hope the console does come out but my issues are too much time has past for it to be a success. Having said that, they do plan on updating the hardware for hopefully when the console is released.

I am glad however that one retro gaming community as well as Nintendo have adopted what Amico was going to do with physical media. Hopefully more companies will catch on. 👍

@Peteykins I can't take any of your comments here seriously. 😂

@carlos82 I got to correct you a bit here. Firstly there's a handful of people still working at the company. Not much I know, but more than just two. Secondly, the console wasn't a scam but through mismanagement and bad luck it hasn't come out yet.
