Smartphone gaming only gets hate on gaming sites like this.
But let's face facts - hit smartphone games are played by hundreds of millions of people instead of consoles games which are considered mega-successes if they can get into tens of millions. Successful mobile developers are raking in 100s of millions in profit, as opposed to console developers who struggle to make profit.
Ten Cent buying into Epic is just the start of a new reign in gaming. The power is shifting and gaming as an industry is shifting away from the old model favouring big publishers and to a new model favouring independant studios (Steam is also part of that shift).
Ouya is fascinating as an initial attempt to bridge the two worlds of gaming (old and new). But the gap may be too large to bridge or more likely will be bridged by Samsung / Apple not some little independant like Ouya. But Ouya is the vanguard and will be an interesting footnote in gaming history if nothing else because of it.
