Eh... I guess ...
edit: I only say that since most Android users expect free content... and pushing out stuff as a developer can only be free for so long before ads like crazy and in-app purchases flood the game, just to keep money flowing

And as a (future) developer, I love this. Also, US$950.000 is such a cheap investment! If I had money I wouldn't think twice before investing in this. | ||

If I had money I wouldn't think twice before investing in this. $950k SO FAR! It's only been up for like 7 hours or so? And they hit their target. It's funny, I was looking at it going "hmm I wonder how they will get the last $100k" because they had only like 100 left of the $99 deal, and then right before it hit 0 they added another 5000 So that pushed them over the top and I can forsee them going up to maybe 1.5mil and as long as that helps them make the best possible system I'm all for that :D | ||

It exists in prototype form, they just need to work out some kinks and bugs and get more made to ship to devs so they can have launch titles. Kickstarter is for funding projects so that they can afford to do something. This allows a new company to make a product without needing to rely on funding from investment companies. | ||

I'm pretty excited for this actually, a cheap console, with cheap games and open to every developer. Now just hope they don't hire the same guys that made the B.net custom map search and we should be alright :D | ||

but maybe some new will grow and the hardcore console market will grow again? (hardcore as in: i only need a stick and a few buttons to play!) But i highly doubt that. most ppl who buy that thing are probably guys who didnt even develop anything yet but maybe plan and on doing someday edit thinking twice, i actually used to play cavestory with a xbox controller for windows on my tv. so the idea aint new, programms like joy2key or xpadder exist for several years already, the only thing the console will take away from you is configuring they controller. but it was fun, indeed. so i think ppl will be happy with their consoles. | ||

Also, remember that you can do more things with android phones than most people might realize... personally, I often download TV series using aDownloader and watch them immediately on my phone with VLC Android, and this would be amazing functionality connected to a TV. And that's just the beginning. | ||

The path for success on an item like this would be, in my mind, to have really amazing console specific titles for which people buy the hardware. We are talking something in the order of magnitude of Zelda or Modern Warfare. | ||

Imagine if Valve were to implement their games into this. Hell, imagine if Steam could be implemented into this. When I get money, I'll give something to these guys. I feel like this is a step forward. | ||
