    People keep saying that and I really don't see why. Especially as some of the folks lauding Google+Games are also whinging about Google's use of their data.

    Nexus Ouya?

    Now what would for me if Google are getting into games would be if they put their weight (=money) behind the Steam box. So the non-gaming stuff that Valve are reputed to be "considering" is delivered by Google, so that's Gmail, Chrome and Google Docs, etc. Steam+GoogleMusic+GoogleMovies could be a possible competitor to XBox's and PS3/4's media streaming?

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...
