compl3x Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=S6lLeF4NQ-8 As part of their "free the games" campaign, it seems as if Ouya is out to deliver a message -- $60 games are not okay. But the delivery of said message in a recent commercial (featured above) is so bizarre that it must be seen to be believed. The only logical explanation I can come up with as to how this was allowed past the planning stages is that the Ouya has become sentient. Not content with the fact that 73% of its owners have not purchased one game, it's out for blood. As an early Ouya backer when it sounded like a good idea, I am safe. But for those less fortunate, I salute you. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starbuck84 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 They got one thing right, people are talking about it. In a good way? That's to discuss. What a waste of time to create such a commercial imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Montage Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 All free to try, wow! /s And over 100's of games. Let's name some desired, high-profile games then - that are fun to play in this environment... What I'm getting at is: Angry Birds and Candy Crush are not games to be played on a console.

Davo Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Skittles is an established product, and candy at that. Ouya is trying to market itself as a gaming device that is changing the industry. Except it's just hardware and it's not changing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
