Shadowrun Online coming to Ouya and Linux
We don't know much about Shadowrun Online, but we do know that it's theoretically coming to the new Android-powered Ouya console as well as Linux-based PCs. We say theoretically because Cliffhanger's Kickstarter project has yet to reach its halfway point with 12 days remaining. Nevertheless, company co-founder Michael Paeck is excited about Shadowrun's cross-platform potential. You can "play the game on your tablet, switch to your desktop PC, and then later enjoy it on your Ouya-connected TV -- without ever having to switch your account or characters or suffer from restrictions based on your device," Paeck says.

Shadowrun Online also getting Ouya and Linux support
Shadowrun Online isn't just heading to tablets, smartphones, and computers, it seems. This morning, developer Cliffhanger Productions announced the game as coming to the Ouya, as well as Linux-based systems. Cliffhanger co-founder Michael Paeck is all about the news, saying, "Adding these platforms will make Shadowrun an even better cross-platform experience!"Beyond allowing more players to get their Shadowrunning on, Paeck explains the cloud-based functionality that'll allow players to "play the game on your tablet, switch to your desktop PC, and then later enjoy it on your Ouya-connected TV – without ever having to switch your account or characters or suffer from restrictions based on your device!"Of course, Shadowrun Online is still well behind in its targeted Kickstarter funding goal wth less than two weeks remaining. So, despite its new support for Ouya, it stands to reason that the Shadowrun MMO won't launch for any platform if Cliffhanger's $500,000 goal is not met.
