OUYA is Dead
TDIRunner:
So I just now found out that the OUYA has been purchased by Razer who has no intensions of using the hardware. Therefore, the OUYA is officially discontinued. Razer apparantly wants the OUYA software library for their own Android based console. I read that the software store is moving over to their site. I also read that OUYA controllers will be compatible with the new Razer system.
What I can't figure out is what it means for current OUYA owners. Is my system a brick? I assume I can still use software that has been downloaded to my hard drive, but can I continue to download new software? I never got around to putting much onto my OUYA. At least I didn't pay full price for mine, but I did buy a few points cards for downloads that I haven't used yet. I'm guessing they are worthless now. :-X

I know this is kind of a shitty reply from someone that doesn't own a ouya, but I would try to call support or something. Try to get some answers and maybe your money back on those cards.

I read about this 3 or 4 weeks ago. Sucks but the thing was a piece of shit from the start. (no offense to people that bought it.)

I didn't expect much from it from the start, but I got it for pretty cheap, and I love to collect consoles, even the unloved ones. :-\

Personally, I never thought of it as anything more than a fun little gadget to mess around with, especially at less than $100. I use it as a standalone Android console, and it's still a nice little machine for all sorts of emulation, from DOS to SNES to Arcade. But as far as the stuff it was intended to do, it wasn't all that great. I'm not even sure when I last used the OUYA controller, no need when I can use a Logitech wireless keyboard and a SNES controller with USB adapter.
