While I have been a huge Ouya supporter, this is a bad move in my opinion.

If Ouya makes a new queue/category for games with demos, then I can still support the Ouya. I don't want to waste my time sifting through the inevitable avalanche of well marketed, but poorly designed software that is about to hit the Ouya. I will still support developers that make games with demos for the Ouya if Ouya makes them easy to find. Otherwise I think my Ouya will become less attractive and probably receive less of my attention and money. I hope Ouya listens to their consumers as much as the developers because quantity can obscure quality and ultimately make the system less attractive.

*Free to Try for cheap indie games helps keep poorly supported software out of the market place. It is like taking a test to get a job at Family Video, yes it seems like a burden, but it is there to prevent the applicant/developer that doesn't apply pride and devotion to their work from interacting with the client.

*AAA, excluding budget title console games, are too expensive to produce and distribute a horrible game. The risk of financial loss in AAA markets provides a natural checks and balances system to keep producers from relying on clever marketing to make sales, instead of relying on a well made product.

*Free to Try is the most democratic form of a marketplace. Requiring a purchase creates and sustains a consumer report industry that is easily manipulated by video game industry giants. The Microsoft and Machinima pay for lip service scandal is a good example of how much a person can manipulate the purchase to play system. This was just a weak attempt that was outed. Free to read "Consumer Review" publications tend to be heavily supported by advertisements, advertisements paid for by large publishers. If the marketing attempts don't turn a high Return on Investment then do you think that these publications will receive more advertisement revenue? Edge Magazine, a pay-to-read publication and Variety, a publication that is supported by a wide gamut of advertisers, have two of the lowest average review scores for a reason. The pay-to-play system is a fundamentally flawed system.

*This was the single most pro-consumer selling point that I could present for the Ouya vs. other consoles. It will remain a great party system, but at this point I believe that certain developers have pushed Ouya into a anti-user policy. Good programmers have a goal of meeting user wants and needs. Any programmer that doesn't have time for a policy that is beneficial for the user probably lacks the most important characteristic of a good programmer.
