Sometimes doing research (and journalism) means taking the long view. Last August I “backed” the new Ouya game console on Kickstarter. First of all to see if it can be done, launching a crowdfunded new piece of game tech. And secondly to write about it later. It took almost a full year of patience, but early June I got my Ouya handed to me. I wrote a feature article about it for nrc.next. The story is republished in NRC Handelsblad, together with an interview by fellow game journalist Arjan Terpstra with Ouya rep Kellee Santiago.
Uiteindelijk komt een Ouya aanschaffen neer op meedoen aan een groot experiment.
