I don’t think that we’ll see ads in games on Ouya. I just want to make sure the quality is there before making the investment.

I agree with you one hundred percent on the micro transactions. It has completely tarnished and obliterated the once valued integrity of countless Android game developers. And it won’t be a permanent fixture either, mark my words, freemium garbage will only work up to a point, and I can already see a mass amount of customers being fed up with being ripped off and nickeled and dimed, and getting crippled games, deceptively on many occasions, that are sold back to them in chunks. No one will believe me, but I couldn’t care less because I know this will have much different end than most of these greedy unethical swine developers think it will. And when they wise up and return to where they are offering quality products again, and giving people something for their money, well they will see that not many customers will be as forgiving as they think for their greed.

No, I still prefer my quality games on my Xbox 360. I don’t personally see any appeal to what I think is the horribly named “OUYA”. Android mobile games are fine when I’m on the go, but I will always choose a top tier console or computer gaming over those. But I do applaud anything that adds more choices to the very small console market, but I don’t personally think it’s meant to compete with the big three consoles, at least I hope that isn’t it’s stated goal. And I would have absolutely bought one and funded it on Kickstarter, except for the fact that the creator said it absolutely must have free games on it. But of course that is an ironic statement knowing that he will allow garbage, pathetic, mobile game ruining, deceptive, unethical, greedy, developers who will swamp the console with their “FREE-TO-PAY/ PAY-TO-WIN/ FREEMIUM/ IN-APP PURCHASE RIDDLED/ FREE-TO-PLAY (HAHA!)” B.S. garbage crippled games. That scene of unscrupulous games and evil developers has all but ruined Android mobile gaming. I see no hope for the OUYA if it allows that fetid trash on it’s system. And I’m in the process of filing a huge report for an article, and to turn over to Google and the FTC, showcasing all of the criminal actions of many, many developers that have let greed and corruption literally turn them into to two-bit criminals.

Exactly, i don’t need a console to play games on with ads popping up all the or flashing across the top or bottom while trying to play a gamelike from the play market. Plus i have an xbox, and there are tons of amateur game devs that put out dc games that are under $20 and very good to play. Plus all the android games play well now on a phone with a gig of ram and a 1.2 or better processor, need some convincing before I think about getting it.

This is an interesting process you speak of where companies charge transcastion fees for items in smaller amounts for items previously bundled in a game or stuff put into a major update. The financial model of the companies should change to address this cash cow and capitalize on small or micro transactions; wait they already do this on almost all systems…..

The truth is that all android games sucks compared to what iphone has and then, what ever we ,android, DO get is a port of the iphone version just a bit more graphic beefed, I am more pissed off about dumb games that require you to pay to get items in the game or work your ass off to achieve those items if even possible based on the game, if thats the way that ouya is heading, which is what it looks like, count me out, I rather pay $5-10 for a game and thats it, not pay countless of money and then have that money go to waist.

This definitely makes me want to get this even more, but I’m going to wait until it comes out to see how it does.

Do they actually have the hardware and software? All I have actually seen are the mockups. I’m not saying it isn’t real, I’m just saying that they haven’t actually shown anything real.
Call me a pessimist, I just want to see the thing actually function before I throw money at it. I did initially back it within the first few days, but pulled out when there was nothing but talk from the Ouya team.
I do want this to succeed, though. Like I said, this could be a HUGE win for Android gaming as a whole. And, it will be nice for the indie developers without deep pockets who want to make console games to have a console to call home.

I decided to drop the $99 for early Ouya and become a backer. Definitly looks like it’s getting a lot of support from the android community, and even support for the dev community in there too, making it easily rootable.
