Ouya announced that it has named Roy Bahat as chairman. He formerly worked with Ouya CEO Julie Uhrman at IGN as the media network’s president.
“People assume it can’t be done unless you spend billions,” said Bahat about the console game business. “But then things change, and it can become 1,000 times less expensive to get into a new business. I think that is what is happening here. Ouya noticed that and acted on it.”
Ouya also named Steve Chamberlin as its new head of engineering and Raffi Bagdasarian as its software product lead. The company also said that more than 1,000 developers have asked about working on Ouya since the end of the Kickstarter campaign and it has received formal applications from more than 50 distributors interested in releasing the console internationally.
