They repealed that policy in the last few months.

I don't know how Ouya will differentiate between IAP and buying the full game.(edit: It's all one-time purchases. This means you could potentially spend a lot MORE than ~$500 with this model, as some games likely have tons of one-time addons)

The promotion being closed already means the whole thing was just a marketing ploy to make somebody, anybody mention them again.

edit: As a developer on OUYA, what you'd want to do right now is add as many IAP to your game as you can, immediately. If you've got a Contra clone, make every gun 1% stronger for $5.

Wasn't there those emulators with 100 dollar cheat codes. If they give you all the onetime purchases that's easily more than 500 dollars.

Forgot all about this for a while. loving shock to find they're still in business, surely it can't be much longer before the investors start asking for some kind of return. They don't appear to have learned anything since the launch fiasco. Ouya is now a service! We're going to China! Download all games on a subs model that will cost us more than we can make!

Has anyone been watching that new drama series Halt and Catch Fire? Great show, but I was disappointed to find it wasn't about Ouya.

I think at this point the investors have wised up and OUYA is riding on what cash on hand they have.

Willing to bet Ouya needed money to make payroll. The sub model lets them float the cost of the apps for 30-60 days.

Aren't all games free with the developer having to add in IAP? How does the subscription work with that?

They are allowing any one time purchase and no consumables. When you set up IAP in almost all systems you state what the IAP is for. So the original system of free demo with game unlock works with this system.

If you are in the google ecosystem then Android TV is basically the ideal HTPC having a controller and chromecast + games and built in google play all built into one input.

I'm excited to be able to buy one having 192 cuda cores (about 360 level performance or about 25% of XBONE) + the easy ability to publish to Google Play would make this a really decent gaming platform (Android TV with K1 not Ouya or the MOJO).

Yeah, but apparently that's costing you $1200 a year. Who can afford to pay that?*

If you want a streaming and gaming box why wouldn't you just get a PS TV and PS now when it comes out? You get netflix etc and actual real games.

Chromecast. I want a device that will play any file (currently using an htpc hopefully Android TV can) and can receive Chromecast and play Netflix. Another in the house doesn't like chromecast, but would use a Android TV controller to use everything.

Right now I haven't found a device that can play nearly any file and netflix at the same time. That plus Chromecast makes it a perfect main TV device having gaming / capability to develop gaming on it is just a bonus.

If it works out like it could my TV would only leave the Android TV input for NFL live broadcasts.

Given how Google unceremoniously dumped Google TV despite all the potential that had, I think I'm going to wait and see when it comes to Android TV.

Have you found a PC app to accept/emulate ChromeCast yet? I have a laptop that does almost everything better but there is still once or twice I wished it would do things like that teensy little stick.

No I was hoping it was going to make it way into XBMC or Plex but as far as I know it's not there yet. This is not streaming from XBMC or Plex to the Chromecast, but having a HTPC running XBMC be a valid Chromecast target.

Being as it hasn't been opensourced I'm guessing it will never be as good as a Google produced device (which is too bad).

Coupon might make some idiots believe they're getting a special deal for being special people, and these guys are more likely to buy than if it's just "Random crap game at 50% off".

I got one too, it doesn't say it's for any specific game. I got another one that says "For Hotline Miami & Broforce Owners", it's also for some indie game I have no interest in.
