Comment on Ouya tops $8.5 million as Kickstarter campaign comes to a closeparent

That's exactly what I don't want to see. Yet another device tied in to Google. For me, all the promise of the Ouya is in doing things independently, not tied to the mission of a corporate behemoth.

If corporate behemoths want in, they can do the same thing as everyone else and write SN app for it.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't think Google would do much of anything to tie the Ouya to its 'corporate behemoth' mission. Besides, I believe that Google's immense power could improve Ouya's standing by backing it thoroughly.

They would, 100% absolutely try and make it the new Google TV.

Well, if Ouya is successful, they will eventually become a corporate behemoth too.

What was it, maybe 7-8 years ago Google was still a scrappy start up sticking it to MS and AOL?

Then they'd be a new corporate behemoth, introducing variety. If these guys entertain a Google acquisition at all, I am out.
