OUYA gets CHAIRMAN OF BOARD, continues to prove it is real.

I have to admit. I’m not really sold on Ouya being real. Seems way too cool. The minds behind the “product” continue to defy my skepticism, all naming chairmen and shit! Fooey! We will see who shall have the last laugh. Probably God, actually. Cackling right at the Heat Death of the Universe.

Joystiq:

Ouya CEO Julie Uhrman announced Roy Bahat as chairman of the board Friday. Bahat served as president of IGN Entertainment for five years before joining Ouya.

Uhrman also revealed that Steve Chamberlin will lead Ouya’s engineering division while Raffi Bagdasarian is in charge of the software side of operations, including services for developers and user experience. Chamberlin previously was Senior Development Director for Trion Worlds, developers of Rift. Bagdasarian spent over five years working with Sony on its Crackle streaming service.

Uhrman added that “over a thousand” game developers have been in contact with Ouya since its Kickstarter campaign ended in August, and that more than 50 distributors have applied to carry the system when it launches.
