For thoes who don't remember, the Ouya device, which retails for $99, was one of the most successful Kickstarter projects of all time, raising over $8.5 million. After a three-week delay, the console launched at a number of retail outlets, including Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and GameStop.
Although the console sold out at Amazon and GameStop, many early supporters, who pledged money through Kickstarter, have not yet received their promised systems. According to a Kotaku report, approximately 7,500 backers have not yet received their Ouya because of problems with a shipping partner, and they might not arrive for a few more weeks. Ouya backers were supposed to receive their systems before the general public.
"I am pissed," wrote CEO Julie Uhrman. "I did not promise to ship to most of you before we hit store shelves. I promised to ship to all of you."
Making the matter worse is the fact that Ouya financial backers have taken to Facebook and Twitter and complained about inconsistent or nonexistent communication with Ouya customer support.
Ouya can still be purchased at GameStop, Best Buy and the Ouya store.
