Sure. Happy to shine some light on what happened at Game On:

We had a contractor help with organizing the contest. A software vendor had kindly offered to sponsor one of the main parts of the prices. Unfortunately they never actually sent the software packages to us for distribution to the category winners. Meanwhile the contract for the contractor had expired and I essentially just dropped the ball on following up with the winners and offering them a replacement in lieu of the originally planned software package.

Your typical chain of events crap. My bad. We are actively sorting it out now.

The two other people are unrelated to Game On - they are waiting for t-shirts which fell through the cracks somewhere. I don't particular care who blew this - all I care about is that those two people get their shirts. And one of them already emailed me. So - we're sorting it out as well. :)

And on the first Game On - we ran this as a fun experiment out of Mozilla Labs. The 2012 edition is run as a much bigger thing out of the Mozilla Foundation. :)

Same thing as in "you were supposed to get a shirt but never got it"? If so - see above. Send me an email. We'll fix it.

Hmm... Not I was responsible for that one as well - but send me an email to p {at} mozilla {com} with your shipping address and t-shirt size and I'll get you a t-shirt.

And we're sorting your price out as well (as well as everyone else who won). :)

Apologies again. We'll fix it.

Hey there,

I was responsible for the 2010 version of Game On. We screwed up your price (long story) and will make good on it now. I know. It's late. Like in: Too late. I am sorry. Trust me - it was not done on purpose or out of neglect (well, I guess you can argue about that).

Anyway: Short of it is - I am sorry. And we will make good on it. Expect an email today (if you haven't already received it).
