So don't participate? You think I'm after your ideas or something? 50 bucks is just an incentive to get people to actually join the game jams. Otherwise, its just stupid bcz 3 people submitted games, one of the games is made by a 12 year old whos coding for the first time, so it ends up being kind of lame.
If you want to get paid to make games, go join a studio. This isn't that.
