For those of you who haven't heard, Ouya has changed its stern policy of providing free-to-try experiences as a mandatory condition for developers to be able to deploy their creations on the platform, in an attempt to stay true to its goal of empowering developers.
Taking into consideration the extra pressure small developers face having to create a free version of their app and the fact that it also imposes a restriction on titles which are not suited for free trials, Ouya has decided to allow developers to choose whether or not they want to charge for their games up front.
The Ouya is a unique, highly portable gaming console that currently offers over 700 Android games, a third of which are exclusive to the Ouya platform.
