Intellivision reveals "significant reduction in staff", as Amico console woes continue

Intellivision, maker of the beleagured and delayed Amico console, has informed pre-order customers of fresh issues holding up delivery of their systems.

A “significant number” of staff have now been laid off in order to meet “dramatically reined in operating costs”, Intellivision boss Phil Adam wrote in an email to customers, which has in turn led to further issues.

However, Intellivision appears to be adamant it will still release the Amico at some point.

“We are slowly processing refund requests,” Adam wrote in the email, seen by VGC. “The public’s uncertainty of our status in the last few months have understandably led to an influx of pre-order refund requests. Because of reduced staff and financing requirements for continued operation, our responses to and processing of these requests has been delayed.
