How am I supposed to achieve that? I don't have any PR team or Community Manager beyond myself as I'm making this game on my own. Replying to every single accusation of bad faith over these last few months takes hours of my own time that I could have spent in developing the game further - in which way is agreeing with the people who insist I did this with bad intent showing ethics on my part?

Intent really doesn't matter here. What matters is you, and everyone else who did it, profited off of a charity.It's more the site fault really for allowing it in the first place, but that doesn't absolve you, or others, of taking advantage of a charity. That's enough reason for me to ignore any free content in these bundles.
Sorry I was more aggressive than necessary. There are more at fault than just you and I shouldn't have jumped on the first person I saw. Your post at the top of your page caught my attention and was the only reason I found out about this.
Thank you for your patience in talking to me, regardless. I still don't really know how to move forward with any of this, but I'm thankful that you helped me gain some insight into how this comes across months after it happened. I'll be seeking advice from game industry seniors on what their thoughts are on how to proceed.
I hope that you have a wonderful day and a wonderful rest of your week
I think a donation outside of buying the bundle would be nice, but I'm not necessarily the best person to ask about it. I'm just one person and I'm sure you got more than one other interested in your game. I know advertising can be very difficult.
Most charities get into quite a bit of trouble if they just let people do that without some sort of mandatory minimum donation and I found nothing about it on the submission rules. I should have contacted the website with my grievances and not jumped so quickly on someone. It was entirely unfair of me and I really do apologize(am canadian).
I hope you do too.
