>some people geniuinely thought they would be playing skyrim on max settings on a $80 plastic box
>some people knew exactly what it was yet still thought a shitty android box would do well somehow
Thomas Phillips
>who remember
everybody because every cringy youtuber e-critic is beating this dead horse to this day
yes, ouya it was cancer, what a hot take
Jaxon Gray
What is this thing?
Is this some excuse to promote Kool-Aid?

I have to give them credit for scamming so many people. They played a good con.
Oliver Walker
It wasn't that bad, just overhyped.
Wyatt Powell
if you had ever interacted with one of it's rabid hypebabbies you'd revel in it's failure for a decade too
Elijah Thompson
It was a decent portable emulation device before retropi's were a thing
Or rather, I knew about them before I knew about retropis
Bentley Watson
Samuel Rodriguez
didn't get anyone anywhere though. it was a net loss front to back for damn near everyone, they couldn't even sell the company for a pittance
Leo Anderson
Can someone explain the problem? It was advertised as an Android console and it was an Android console. Why were people mad?
Brody Miller
Honestly it's probably fuck-awesome.... in a vacuum where no other options exist. Put that piece of shit next to a PS3 (or Wii ffs) and it basically becomes invisible. That's the only playtesting they would have had to do to realize it's not sustainable.
Nathaniel Wilson
>a Kickstarter project have failed
Woow shocking news.
Justin Barnes
No it was marketed as a "revolutionary" product.
Landon Miller
I find kitschy gaming trash like this fascinating, for some reason.
Oliver Stewart
Yea Forums said it would flop
Yea Forums was right again
Ryan Torres
Compared to this turd, Ouya looks almost passable.
Nathaniel Jones
Yea Forums is always right, you faget.
Matthew Fisher
That wasn't kickstarter, right? I thought Juicero was funded by Google
Nolan Wood
There was this kind of "promised land" province of indie games that would be correlated with the console. Except, big fucking surprise, it never materialized. Everything just stayed on steam, sourceforge, etc. The Ouya is something everyone wanted on paper, but nobody wanted in reality.
Ian Campbell
where did they market it as more than an Android machine?
Thomas Nguyen

Josiah Anderson
All the problems of the internet of things in one device, for the low low price of $399.99!
Connor Anderson
don't pretend like they didn't associate new AAA games with their piece of shit in any way possible, despite never actually promising anything.
Michael Clark
Are you stupid or pretending?
Robert Torres
Yea Forums is always negative and the industry is a shitpile so they match up a lot. i think optimism is for people with zero pattern recocnition or forethought, personally.
Ethan Cook
might've been indiegogo or something but it was deffo crowdfunded
Alexander Phillips
The best part of it is still the "wish list" of games that backers would like to see on it. The list was hilariously impractical.
>Skyrim
>Cowadoody
>FIFA
>AssCreed
Licensing issues aside, the system probably couldn't come close to handling them.
Logan Johnson
No answer then
Zachary Campbell
Dominic Flores
Nah it was a kickstarter project. Founder bankrupted the company and ran away with the money. Saddest thing is he still insist on his dead on arrival projects.

Grayson Richardson
I did gave you an answer but you have reading comprehension.
Kevin Martin
I can't wait for Stadia to launch. It's going to be such a trainwreck
Juan Carter
David Edwards
It was developed and marketed for richfags with more money than good sense.
You'd think this is a solid business plan (there is no lack of stupidity to be turned into money), but it shut down anyway.

Hunter Richardson
But is it skookum?
Juan Williams
Don't tell me he's a jew
Noah Morris
pls do not
Brody Jenkins
>streaming gaming
The problem is like with esports: journos are going to keep pushing it as the next "hottest trend" in their advertising department until even they are forced to accept it's not viable anymore.
Someone else will try something Stadia-like, guaranteed.
Colton Foster
>esports
B-but esports are DA FEWWWWWWCHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE
Sebastian Reed
Honestly I don't think they scammed anyone so much as let people's stupidity go unchecked to their advantage. People were just retarded and didn't know what they were supporting because they didn't take the time to do minimal research/they were completely tech illiterate. They thought because it was a console being released in 2013 that it somehow magically made it a "current gen" console that would be on the same footing as the PS4 and XB1 that only costs $100 despite the fact that people kept trying to point out to them "dude, it's literally a tablet without a built in screen."
Carson Watson
>Someone else will try something Stadia-like
*ahem*
Wyatt Jackson
onlive threads were great.
Dominic Rodriguez
The controller doesnt look half bad. Can anyone verify it's quality (or lack of it)?
Samuel Powell
Onlive still kinda exists though. Sony bought up all the patents and uses it's infrastructure for Playstation Now.
Camden White
Chase Lee
I think the best part was the commercial lol
Jack Robinson
No, Sony uses Gaikai which was a former competitor of Onlive. Sony swallowed up both streaming companies though.

How did so many people fall for this? Was there some sort of false advertising involved, or did gamers really not fucking think "Oh gee, how will a small fucking cube run GTA V?"
Ryan Diaz
Btw the CEO and co founder of OUYA (Julie Uhrman) is now the president of media at Playboy
Kayden Walker
Beats me.
The moment the CEO cunt went on stage and wouldn't stop saying television should have set off all the warning alarms.
Wasn't this thing priced at like $100?
Jack Howard
youtube.com
>there were people on Yea Forums who actually fell for this
Anthony Mitchell
Scamming boomers dumb enough to buy print porn?
Julian Barnes
Connor Turner
Mate, the Ouya is passable compare to that because at the Ouya cost $100 compared to the Pissero which cost $700/$400
Dylan Ramirez
Jack Mitchell
Huh. I somehow didn't know about this and they're seemingly still committed to scamming people with this. Fascinating.
Christian Martinez
Yep, it was $100 and retards really thought Arma 2 would run on this thing. The fact that it said "ran on Android" in the first sentence of the kickstarter page should have alerted anybody to what kind of product this would end up being.
Wyatt Gutierrez
Wishful thinking. The backers truly did not put a lot of thought into it.
It has a genuine niche, for surveying and map-making or something. Certainly not gaming as it was hyped up to be.
Ayden Cruz
Had to fix that picture a bit.
Hunter Butler
What's the biggest gamble you've taken on a KS, if you have? Has it worked out? Pic related. And so far.
Aaron Butler
But esports are extremely popular.
The problem is that the scenes grew alongside a good game, whereas every shit tier aaa title has an esport already dedicated to it before launch. SC, dota, lol, csgo, siege, smash etc all have massive esport scenes. I don't understand how that can be conflated with fads like the ouya and stream services.
Aiden Sanchez
What's the kickstater, if you dont mind sharing?
Thomas Torres
Kingdom death: Monster. /tg/ stuff.
Carson Phillips
What the fuck
Kevin Barnes
Dunno, 20 bucks to skull girls?
Levi Ward
fuck you Calarts
Hudson Myers
Somebody say calarts?
Nathaniel Reed
STOP
Camden Phillips
What's wrong? Dont like the reboot?
Austin Foster
>this degradation in quality
western animation was a mistake
Brody Ward
Western animation is the reason Anime exists unfortunately.
Josiah Stewart
Fuck, I remember this. I discovered during a YouTube browsing session late at night in 2012, when there also was the concept of the wearable Nokia phone
Austin Green
It's also amazing that the "100.000x better quality" is not even better than fucking Assassin's Creed Victory
Robert Anderson
What was the last hardware blunder on this scale prior to this?
James Brown
What are you talking about? Of course they have quality? GAYYYYY QUALITYYYY!!!! *clap emoji*
Jose Gomez
OnLive?
Zeebo?
Joshua Scott
>the merging of the gender symbols in her hat
kek
Benjamin Perez
That's interesting
Owen Torres
Oh yeah, OnLive was a thing. I think Zeebo was always targeted at third world countries or some shit like that.
Hudson Perez
Michael Williams
Awesome party games came out from it, though...
Bombsquad, Towerfall, Duck Game!
Andrew Russell
Liam did :)
Kevin Moore
I gave like five dollars to Yooka Laylee
