It was his kids running a Mineserver Kickstarter. If you fund a bunch of kids on Kickstarter never seeing a finished project are very high. Cringely and his kids obviously made a good faith effort.
I am surprised at how many I have funded and have made it across the finish line.
But similar to the mineserver, I lost $65 on this thing as it went quiet in 2020. It seemed like they were moving forwards but a few dud manufacturing runs combined with Covid problems just meant the whole project just folded. But I have had like a 90% success ratio so I will take the occasional loss. I am still amazed I got my Ouya!

It is OK to fail. It is not OK to continuously lye to people who have provided you with money (or anyone else for that matter).
