Not necessarily. Anyone who comes to the comp late and downloads the games from that point will most likely end up with an updated version. Even if the original version is the one in the zip file, if they discover a new and updated version exists, they'll most likely download that one instead.

Please read my post again in its entirety; your concern is already addressed there.

Coming from a man whose primary complaint is about a "spirit?"
Would you enter a game using first round of judging as a beta-test period? No, but you hold other authors to a different ethical standard, namely a lower one.
You expect others to provide reams of facts to satisfy you, but are disappointed in a "spirit" which has been lost which can neither be verified nor refuted. These are double standards.
