Disagree. Just because some jackasses decided to try to break it doesn't mean it was without merit. Look at the ones who did receive money from OUYA, how many are actually out there now? There are people still getting money and Free the Games has merit, just bad direction and planning. Games aren't things that you can just put out there in a few weeks or whatever. Look how long we're still waiting for some that were launched even BEFORE OUYA's Kickstarter.

$10,000 isn't much in terms of development unless it's a 1-2 man team. Even then it would have to be something not so in depth.

I pitched an idea of breaking up the cash where you had X for this budget, X for this budget, etc.

There's more I can and probably will say on this subject because people are looking at it all wrong just because the idiots who try to game Kickstarter and those who don't need it or those who think Kickstarter is a way to fund their lives.
