I'm still sticking to my guns here and saying that a zero tolerance policy is a bit silly.I can see if we were passing APK files around but we are not. The number of games that work on OUYA yet are blacklisted alone is where I'm frustrated from all angles. It's not like I'm saying, hey, just go download the game without buying a license. I'm saying "Hey, buy the license from the online version of Google Play or Amazon and then go find the files so you can install". I dont see where the developer is losing any money at all in this case. Hell, ALL android stores would be better off allowing users to install apps to their devices with a warning on "non-compatible" devices so that gamers can make their own decisions. Locking games to certain pieces of hardware is just like developers saying, nope, I dont want that person's money.
BTW for people saying, "How would you feel, Lighty? You're a dev." I accept a logical amount of piracy on anything I make. I also accept the fact that unless a game I make is platform exclusive and not OS exclusive, there is NO excuse to locking a game to one device. If you're a OUYA or KINDLE game, it's obvious that your game is made specifically for ONE device but if you're a general Android game, sorry, no excuses. I will legally buy your game and then find the peoper files to install MY purchase onto my OUYA. You still received your money, you didn't lose a sale. I refuse to pay for more hardware just to play one game. The same goes for my statement on "The Other Brothers". At the time of statement, there was no indication of a OUYA or general Android release. All factors was pointing to Game Stick exclusivity. You honestly think I'm going to buy a Game Stick for ONE game??? FAce is, I'm not the only person who thinks this way and I'm tired of people online acting holier than thou because they want to show loyalties to companies that could give two spits about them.
I'm not saying that all developers are evil. Hell, 98% of my purchases for my OUYA have been legit with the 2% being games that I have paid for but had to find additional files to install on my OUYA. I just wont sit back and stand for over priced games (in which it's not a problem for OUYA but a MAJOR one on the Wii U's eshop) and games that are locked to one device for reasons that are not logical.
