Bringing New Voices (Back) to the Living Room

The living room is often the center of shared experiences and discussion in a household. However, in video games, the boxes that have dominated the space in the last few decades have actively pushed the majority of the household out of that space.  With the growth of new living room consoles like OUYA, anyone can now make a game for the living room, and we have an opportunity to invite everyone back. So how can we use this for good? In this panel discussion, we will discuss the challenges new developers face in bringing unique content to the living room space, what the opportunities are, and why we as a developer community should care.
