The creator of Ouya, Julie Uhrman, will not join the Razer team.
She nevertheless reports that she is glad of the deal.
According to the Techcrunch resource, Razer uses the Ouya platform and user base of 200 thousand people to develop its own Forge TV set-top box. It is still intended for broadcasting games from the PC to the TV.
We add that the deal took place on June 12 and became the first in the history of Razer. The information immediately appeared online due to the bank that accompanied the purchase by Ouya, but for a long time there was no official confirmation from the companies themselves.
Razer develops and creates gaming equipment. Ouya in 2012, with the help of the Kickstarter project, raised about $8.5 million to launch a miniature Android-based game console. The console was released in June 2013. At the moment, there are more than a thousand games in the Ouya online store.
