Have you bought Ouya games?

[JerTM]

Yes, I have spent just a little under $100 on games so far. My OUYA is MAXED out space wise. I have done my part of the revolution, now it's time for the revolution to happen lol (i.e. usb support so I can fill that up too)

This is directly at me so I guess I clear it up a bit, but first... Yes, quite a few members have yet to purchase any video games from OUYA because they're here for other reasons such as a streaming box(XBMC), collecting the console for the sake of collecting, or miscellaneous things. I know you didn't mean anything by what you posted, but you inadvertently put me on the spot here. I posted this a long time ago and still hold true to it...



I couldn't give a crap about the games, applications, or anything else on OUYA. I'm here for one reason and that reason is to help support a console that aims to "shake things up" and change things for the better. I know that purchasing supports the developers which sequentially supports OUYA because more purchases means more reasons to develop for the console and I'll EVENTUALLY buy games, but I'm in no hurry. I'm also not going to throw money at any of you either as you need to work for your money by creating quality content so encouraging half-assed games(which I don't see much of thankfully) is out of the question.

"But how do you expect them to get better if they're disheartened by people like you?" "How do you expect them to find a home to develop on if they can't get the funds from you to get better development tools?" This is not my problem by a long shot. Don't throw some shit on the store and expect me, or anybody else to pay just because you want to make a quick buck. Regardless if your reasons are to get better via practice or better means to develop things then get a job at Wendy's because I'm not paying for it.

OUYA won't die without my immediate support nor will the developer well dry up. I'll purchase things when I feel a urge to. I come on here and bust my ass for every single one of you to make this forum a better place to be for developers and members alike. Our goals are different, but our ways of accomplishing our each and individual goals are the same. Support, affection, belief, hope, longevity, trust, togetherness.

Furthermore, I've been getting quite a lot of crap for being a Super Moderator who has yet to purchase a single game, but little do you know that I'm with you every step of the way. Not only that, but Eddie K(OUYAForum Owner) has entrusted me to servitude to every single one of you so whether you have any ill-feelings of me being a Super Moderator who hasn't purchased anything remains irrelevant to me as it does him. I'm here to do a job first and then be a member second while a customer comes last. My purpose for being a moderator is to give a little push in the back to every member and help in every way that I can. Another way of showing support.

@Developers: You will get your money from me eventually if I have a interest in your games like any other customer. Just don't expect it to be within' your accounts for a long while. Rest assured though that I have over four-hundred bucks saved up specifically for OUYA games and it could potentially be coming your way. Sure it's not much when it's spread out throughout multiple games, but it shows that I had every intention of paying for quality entertainment and supporting OUYA from the get-go.

I've been up for thirty hours straight so I apologize if this post looks weird. @jbrodack: I will take your suggestions to heart along with whatever anybody else says.

EDIT* I'd also like to address that I'm nothing special. Not me or my money, but you guys overreacting to me doing the slightest things seemed to have given the impression that I for some reason am to other people. I may have come off "mean", but it wouldn't have had that tone if people would keep out of my business.

One solution to provide OUYA with "support" aside from buying the system would be to buy game cards. OUYA gets the full $25 per card, and only after a purchase does the 70% for that title get to the developer.
