The Techcrunch article linked in this article has a lot more details, including statements that sound a lot like "your Ouya console will be useless in 12 months - go get a Razer Forge box after that."
Seriously though in 12 months Ouya will be 3 years old, I don't think expecting a company to actively support a piece of cheap (affordable for those that find the word cheap insulting) hardware for more than 3 years is a reasonable expectation. Ouya had already added the play store I thought (as pointed out below, I thought wrong), and so discontinuing support will probably amount to the Ouya store ceasing to exist and a lack of future patches. I mean its a device to play games mainly in a local manner, it will continue to be able to do that as well as it can now.
This is incorrect. It only officially has its own store. You can "hack" the device to install Play though.
But I acknowledge it may not of been this way except recently, and my memory could be painting over the 'good ol days' so I am not any more bitter and cynical about things changing than I already am.
