INTEL corporation DISHONORS prize and revoke's ELECTROPIX (possibly to steal it)

For some reason INTEL corporation has decided to take back giving me 1st place to discourage the project and to show true hatred to indie game developers. It is likely that it will be stolen, and sold in CHINA behind my back for $5. wow,. INTEL CORP.
