Ouya CEO Julie Uhrman keeps her aim on democratizing gaming (interview)

Ouya hasn’t set the world on fire with its Android-based micro game console. But Julie Uhrman, the chief executive of the San Francisco-based company, told GamesBeat that she is still committed to democratizing games and giving more exposure to indie developers.

Ouya launched its console last year, and it has pivoted a few times. The company hasn’t disclosed sales, but it is safe to say it isn’t beating either Sony or Microsoft in the console wars. It no longer requires indie developers to offer free demos on its platform. And it is making its Ouya Store available on Mad Catz’s micro console platform. But Uhrman proudly says that Ouya has 700 published games and more than 34,000 registered developers. And she says the company remains committed to growing its community and staying true to its strategy.
