OUYA open platform gaming console could change game development. Forget about licensing fees, retail fees, and publishing fees

OUYA is a new game console for the TV, powered by Android.

We’ve packed this little box full of power. Developers will have access to OUYA’s open design so they can produce their games for the living room, taking advantage of everything the TV has to offer.

Best of all, OUYA’s world-class controller, console, and interface come in one beautiful, inexpensive package. All the games on it will be free, at least to try.

For hackers: root it. Go ahead. Your warranty is safe. Even the hardware is hackable.  Want to get inside?  You’ll need a standard screwdriver and nothing more.  Go to town. We have standard USB ports and Bluetooth, so you’ll even be able to create your own peripherals.

As with every platform, though, we have to balance openness with a quality user experience. So we’ll have a standard user interface. We’ll curate your games in our storefront so they’re easy for everyone to get to. And we’ll require that all games we put in our store include a free experience. If you don’t like our choices, root the device and make it your own.
