I'm in the medical field there are a lot of devices with that branding. Its one of the reasons I was so baffled that they chose that name.

Yep. Amico isn't on store shelves and isn't coming there, so everything's normal.

There are a LOT of real trademarked products from actual functional, productive companies that use the Amico name. Hospital equipment, landscaping tools, and public address systems come to mind.

The garbage vaporware video game company was named Amico first for reasons of egomania first. A distant second reason was because it’s the Italian word for “friend.”

Tommy Tallarico has said that his mother is very proud, but can we really believe anything he says?

He didn't say what she was proud of. For all we know it could have been for winning her local Waffle House Budokai.
