Ouya removes free-to-play requirement to gain more high-quality games

The Android-based microconsole Ouya used to require game developers to include a demo component or make the game entirely free. However, some developers did not have a budget to offer demos or believed the requirement didn’t match some games. Now, Ouya seems to have a change of heart and will let developers offer free-to-play or paid model for the console starting April.

“We’re clearing another roadblock in the pathway to publishing on the TV, and that means more great games will make it to Ouya,” the company said in a blog post.
