My opinion regarding changing the winners...
I’m honestly feeling pretty sad about this.
When the results first came out and I saw that I placed, I was really, really happy. I told my parents right away, and they were proud of me because they actually saw how much time I put into this — staying up late, fixing bugs, trying to make everything work, and also taking time to rate other people’s games properly.
So seeing this new announcement suddenly was kind of shocking. It just didn’t feel good at all.
I understand that this is your first time hosting a jam, and I’m not trying to hate or anything. Everyone makes mistakes, and I respect that you’re trying to fix it.
But at the same time, changing the results after they were already announced feels really unfair to the people who originally won. For us, it wasn’t just a ranking — it actually meant something, especially after all the effort we put in.
I just wish there was a better way to handle this without completely changing the outcome like this. Even something that still respects the original winners in some way.
I just hope you can see why this feels unfair from our side.
