I do not understand why, if someone misinterprets the funding levels, they're to be removed entirely and not just placed in the appropriate bracket. It really just feels like a punishment.
You say you wanted to make it right, but there was no leniency or transparency in the process until it was too late. This thread was up for weeks, and I had emailed as extra redundancy. Can you not see why someone would be upset with how things were handled?
"If any of your projects are collaborative and have multiple people, please submit the URL that owns the project page." This is exactly what I did. I made two applications, each for each itch.io account because... I have two accounts. The form asks for one itch.io account. I'm disappointed this was interpreted as an attempt to double dip, even though it's perfectly clear if you look at the pages that they both link to me. I'm not exactly trying to hide that.
And for the record, this is the second year in a row this happened. Last year I was told "sorry, we don't have time, apply again next year". The organizers surely should be able to do something to handle cases like this. Having accounts for multiple person projects isn't an uncommon use case.
I feel like there could've been a better resolution than outright removing me and my team from the bundle? It was not clear for me what to do in the case of having multiple accounts, so I just did what made sense to me which was submitting them separately. If this is such a big issue, then there probably should've been guidelines about what to do in the case of multiple accounts. I'm not sure how I was supposed to know the proper process to follow, and I'm surprised that this is not something that could be resolved and instead led to us being excluded.
