Ouya has decided to abandon its policy of mandating developers to release a demo or free-to-play version of all their games on the micro-console.
"Free to Try seemed like an obvious choice for an open platform," said Ouya's Bob Mills. "We knew it appealed to gamers, but it turned out many devs had trouble meeting the requirement, didn't want to make a demo, or weren't sure how to monetize their game."
"So we found ourselves weighing one good thing against another. Do we support the awesome feeling of getting to try anything before you buy it, or do we make the pathway to publishing on the TV even easier for devs? It was a difficult choice," he added.
"We didn't come to this decision unilaterally. Devs have been asking us for this choice for more than a year."
