How about the fact that you simply want to see the idea succeed? That was enough for me. Even if it fails I know I was a part of the community that tried.

- eridius 14y agoThey passed their funding goal ages. What's your definition of "succeed"? Me pledging for a console isn't going to do much to get good games to be promised for it. I'd love to see it succeed, but it's hard to justify paying $100 for something that isn't even useful by itself.
- alttab 14y agoBecause I would love to see a console I could tinker with that is an open platform, (versus say trying to do XNA development), the $100 is worth feeling like I'm apart of something bigger than myself. Sure its a gamble, but I want to see it enough that there is value to me in simply being involved. Clearly others agree with me. You don't have to feel the same way, and clearly you don't. No one is asking you to participate - which is the beauty of the kickstarter format. At this point I don't see what good anyone is doing criticising it. Either you're on board.... or just chill out because it doesn't affect you in any way. That is, unless you work for an existing game studio.
- eridius 14y agoCriticizing? I genuinely want it to succeed, but it needs games. A console without games isn't a console. It seems like getting developers to promise games at launch (or at least shortly after it) should be one of the top priorities for the Ouya team right now, but I don't see any evidence of that happening.
