Could this be the next step forward or is it a doomed dream?

The project promises quite a bit, especially for driving down the cost of producing games. With developers always claiming that they need DLC to cover the cost of game development, this may provide an alternative. It could also allow people that can't afford to make games the means to do so. However, anything that promises to be so good should be approached with skepticism. We can't be sure this thing is even going to succeed if it gets off the ground. I'm also not sure if the games that can be made under such a system are going to appeal to everyone. I'm not exactly sold on it myself. Then there is the matter of digital vs physical games which can divide many people.

So what are everyone's thoughts on this?

I was just reading about this. I don't know much about it, but an android console for gaming. I don't know at this point. Im gonna read more about it to see if i like it or not.

I haven't heard much more news on this thing. That doesn't seem like a good sign.
