How can I delete my Ouya account?
I want to delete my Ouya "gamer" account.
I'm returning my Ouya to Amazon due to various issues. After being forced to provide my credit card details, I am concerned about the lack of security for my payment details.

I contacted support, no response as of yet. I already changed my credit card number, but given their current lack of basic security I'm not fully convinced my personal information isn't exposed.
What lack of basic security?
Yes what lack of security?
What lack of security are you referring to? I'd really like to know so I can fix it.
Yesterday I was able to attempt login to gamers.ouya.tv without going through TLS. Luckily LastPass stopped me before I sent my login information plaintext.
Changing the Ouya account password did not logout the console, even from power downed state. I imagine its storing some sort of session that isn't being invalidated. There isn't a way to deauthorize an Ouya from the account.
I tried to enable disk encryption from the android settings activity, but I was met with some nondescript error. I couldn't enable a passcode lock in the security settings.
The biggest problem is being forced to provide saved credit card details. I don't trust any "3rd-party" to save my credit card details, specially since Ouya didn't reprompt me for my password when purchasing a game. Since there is no opt-out I can only my data is being used for malicious purposes.
By changing your password, no one on the console can make purchases on your account without logging in again with your new password.
If you don't want to give us your credit card info, you can buy voucher cards or digital codes.
I thought Microsoft patented F.U.D.
