You spoony bard!
The text in the opening post suggests developers can still decide if they want their games to be part of Ouya Everywhere for a particular platform. However, I cannot find this in the actual agreement that developers are asked to sign.
Edit: I have submitted a question to Ouya support asking if it can be added to the agreement that participation in Ouya Everywhere is still an option, not a requirement. (In understand Ouya still sees it as an option, but it would be nice for the agreement to reflect that.)
Have to be OE ready. Bob will be posting further info "soon".
On the support page ("Recent changes to the Marketplace Agreement 2015", January 29) it says: "It's still up to you if you want to make your game available in a given territory or distribution platform though, just like today." The fun aspect of Ouya to me at least is how simple it is, developing for one device. If it is required that a game is translated to Chinese and tested on one or more other devices that I don't want the game to appear on in the first place then that makes it less attractive. So I am curious what they will reply to my e-mail or what info there will be.
It says right there "It's still up to you if you want to make your game available in a given territory or distribution platform though, just like today."
Meaning you don't have to if you don't want to. If you want it in chinese region, make sure it supports chinese language. If you want it on another device, make sure it works on said device.
Yes I know, but that is on the support page. In the agreement itself it does not say that. To be clear I am not against OE or against games in China :), it's just that there seems to be a line missing from the agreement. (Or it is not missing but then the support page is wrong.)
I haven't read the latest agreement yet :PQuote:

That covers countries but what about devices? What if someone wants to allow China on device A but not on device B?Quote:
