The impression I got from the project is that it isn't about just loading premade games on but its about giving you a fun and accessible development platform for microcontrollers. I don't think this will be obsolete in 10 years because microcontrollers will have mostly the same requirements.

And yet there are about half a dozen other projects that I've described that cover the exact same space -- retro development, hobbyist. And they're either on Ebay for a fraction of the price, or in landfill.
Ultimately I don't think it matters that much here. The thing comes packed in a thin sleeve that fits in an envelope and contains very few materials. You would likely do better for the environment by passing on a single steak for dinner. The Arduboy is the least of my concerns.
