We have a dog food truck in Stockholm. They also have an office/store at one of the fancier addresses in the city. I don't know who's financing them, but I give it a month or two tops before they're gone.

The Ouya hardware was 3-4 years outdated already by the time it was released, so there's zero value in it.

The company probably has a bunch of soft assets (software, employees, patents, contracts, etc) that Razer is interested in.

How would you like a super-inconvenient way to tell time? Yeah, baby!

You can make it into a pocket watch to look like a steam-punky douche, and it comes with a bracelet where it can fall off for your inconvenience. If that's not enough to roll you in, it's got pictures of hipsters and made its goal times four in a few hours.

Oh right, because Kickstarter hasn't allowed bullshit things to go through before. That laser razor is as viable OUYA or Star Citizen.
To be fair Ouya wasn't snake oil per se, it was just obsolete before it was even finished.

If Kickstarter suspended every product just for being crappy they wouldn't get much money at all.

Or you could just buy a $2 stand for your phone and have the exact same functionality.

On the other hand I'm pretty sure you could kickstart a modern ticker-tape printer that took an RSS feed or whatever and slowly spat it out on a strip of paper. Make it look like an old school telegraph under a glass dome and rake in that hipster young urbanite money.
