... well thank goodness for that. I for one was worried that Pig Eat Ball might get hung up in a long, rigorous approval process.

I'm sure if you asked Apple, Valve, Desura, Microsoft, Sony etc. they'd all say their certification process was the best.

So, confirmation of pornography games,,so long as they're not too excessive.

So it's not an open platform, someone has an arbitrary control over who can develop software for it?

:siren: BECAUSE THE VIDEO GAME CRASH WILL HAPPEN AGAIN EXACTLY AS IT DID AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN :siren:

Which is why I CAN ONLY FIND lovely GAMEZ for my computer!

It was my understanding I could make whatever deplorable software I wanted and even if they wouldn't put it in the APPETIZER STOER I could still install it on my Android or iOS phone? So is is a locked proprietary version of the OS or does this apply only to their store and there will be a way in the UI to actually get to files and do things that are useful? I think I have a fundamental understanding gap due to not having used Android or iOS.

Maybe they'll take the MPAA's line and count thrusts. More likely they'll stay within whatever parameters their retail partners lay down, so certainly no Hentai child rape simulators or the like.

Any porno games at all seem a risk, a console this cheap could well end up being given to a kid and that could generate some pretty bad headlines for Ouya. Really thinking about it the open, barely curated storefront they've promised seems really quite dangerous as the most prominent aspect of a product sold at retail.

They apparently are hoping to implement a rating system but they aren't using the ERSB and who knows how effective it'll be in prevent kids seeing the "bad" stuff.

I didn't even think about the porn thing. Even if this piece of poo poo gets a small install base the media backlash that this is sold to kids in major retailers would be a spectacle at the least. The potential of ouya is so vast I can't wait for it to be released.

For some reason I picture the venn diagram circle of people who would buy an Ouya and people who are furious that Steam doesn't include porn games contains a significant bit of overlap, so Julie should be careful.

Whelp, there goes the last thing about the Ouya being open.

Unless you want to physically open the Ouya and somehow hack an extremely dense PCB with flip chips on it.

Its animal farm all over again.

I actually am happy the Ouya team is doing some curation. It will bring the quality standards higher than the levels achieved with XBLIG! This can only be a great thing.

Man, look at all of those great quality titles! Classics like "Zombie Death Quota", and "The $1 Zombie Game"! The revolution is now, folks!

Of course, this won't happen on the OUYA! It'll only get quality indie efforts! It's like every dev is in denial that there won't be a mountain of absolute poo poo covering the few gems.

Skype is owned by Microsoft, one of the big three do you really think the Ouya people would let that corporate taint onto their machine? Would they really risk the paradigm shifting revolution the Ouya is going to be?
