The Entertainment Software Association, the company which owns and operates the E3 Expo, called the Los Angeles Police Department today in an attempt to shut down Ouya’s public presence at E3 2013.
Julie Uhrman, founder of the Ouya console, informed IGN that the police visit was just another event in an ongoing conflict with the ESA. Ouya had their console on display in a lot across the street from the Los Angeles Convention Center, which is the home of E3. But at 9am this morning, the ESA rented out the spaces in front of Ouya’s display and parked semi-trucks in them in what Uhrman felt was an attempt to block people from noticing Ouya’s presence.

Pretty lulzy. Does the mainstream gaming industry feel threatened by the indies?

Really? lol. I doubt they would be threatened. Ouya itself is far from impressive, its quite lack luster as it stands right now. Get your phone hooked up to your TV and chances are you have a more powerful gaming rig then the Ouya for as cheap or cheaper (granted thats also taking in consideration the contract deal).
Just an odd thing, nothing I really see being a threat so much as them not suppose to be there and not wanting to promote such behavior... but eh... who knows.
An Indie console solution? I'll have to look that up.
