Of course... :-)
But what I'm worried about isn't so much some games getting unfair
advantages or disadvantages because they appear earlier or later than
others. It's more that everybody should be competing on the same
conditions. Otherwise, there will always be the risk that people doubt
whether game X won because it was the best game, or because it was
published earlier/later than the others.
It's not _that_ serious in this case; I don't believe that the outcome
will be influenced very much in any direction.
