TV and gaming services you've probably never heard of are shutting down
There’s a chance you might remember a gaming console startup named Ouya. Many of us bought in to it hoping for something that, while less than Xbox One and PS4, might at least be fun. We got the former, but not the latter. It lasted a few weeks in my home before being disconnected forever.
Apparently at some point, after it was mostly just gathering dust, it gained a TV service named Razer Forge. There was probably an announcement, but I missed it.
Now both services have announced an end in sight. In a brief email sent to customers everything is laid out succinctly.

So, you have roughly one month to prepare if you were still using these platforms. If you were, then this is bad news.
