No, Atari has nothing to do with this competition. If you are talking about Atari Age however, the publishing conditions is a promotional deal for this competition. You can of course have your game published by Atari Age under different conditions even if you are not in the winning spots in this competition. Hope that helps explain it!
We're currently ramping up to begin publishing Lynx games using high-quality materials (boxes, manuals, labels, and injection-molded cartridges). Prices will be fair, as well as terms offered to authors. Please feel free to contact us if you're interested in having your game published in the AtariAge Store! Would love to hear from you!
