I'm not saying that prize money is relevant for everyone who entered - I am saying that almost everyone it is relevant to is most likely enjoying the jam less because of it. Or else I cannot comprehend why usually it's fine to compete as a single developer against teams of full time devs. Yeah, there are people like Daniel Linssen https://managore.itch.io/ but I'm 1oo% convinced they use some kind of black magic or something ; )
