Does anyone remember the Ouya?

So I was just curious to see if anyone remembers the Ouya or maybe even still has one? I got one that I bought nearly brand new in box for 15.00 at a local game shop. It was more or less both an impulse buy and I feel like you could honestly call it the most successful crowdfunding failure.

I remember the kickstarter campaign and remember how much of a failure it was. I wish I could find one out in the wild because I would totally pick it up. I love weird devices like that! Knockoff Items and weird tech items are my jam.

I 'member.

 

Actually, when it came out I actually expected it to work :( 

But no, it was just an Android with a controller.. Too bad Steam Link on Android wasn't a thing back then.

I used as an emulation machine for a little bit but then I got bored with it and it couldn't emulate as well as I'd have liked so it's more or less a piece of tech history I keep on a shelf. It even had all of the original pieces.
