We were told that those of us who had a game in the store by the time the Ouyas shipped that we'd get featured on the retail boxes. Well, that didn't end up happening. What's the story with that? Is anything happening with it?
Us developer backers got a message on March 7 on Kickstarter:
Developers! Please take a minute and check out our blog. We made a couple big announcements. It’s go time!
Starting now (as in NOW), you can upload real games to OUYA. March 28 is when gamers start to play. Show us your stuff.
AND, to encourage you (and all developers) to take the plunge, we decided to make it interesting. If your game is live on OUYA by March 28, and it’s among the TOP 3 most enjoyed titles (by total gamer time spent playing during the first six weeks that OUYA is in gamers’ hands), we will... http://www.ouya.tv/let-the-uploads-begin. Sorry for the tease but worth the click, promise ;).
Lastly, as Kickstarter backers, we promised to help you promote your games for a year. We now have a better sense of how OUYA will work -- so here’s our plan:
(1) for our first year (at least!), we will have a special section on OUYA for games made by our founders (that’s you!)... (2) we will include your game in at least one email blast to all OUYA gamers, at any point in the first year (stay tuned for details on how that works)... and (3) if you submit a game by March 28, we will include your name on the OUYAbox at retail. We believe gamers should know who made their games, so we plan to promote you, the developers, who make them.
Not a moment to lose!

So far, there's been no follow-up on that as far as I'm aware.
Is there really no one else who cares about this? :/ This is something we were promised and there's been 0 communication (as far as I can tell) since they dropped the ball on it.

Maybe will happen later on? I can understand it's probably fairly low priority
