Normally, the judges would score the three finalists according to several categories and determine the overall winner. Unfortunately this year, all three judges have expressed that they are unable to continue their duties due to real-life factors. As it has been almost two months since the beginning of HotY 2019, we felt it was better to prematurely end the contest rather than drag it out even longer. As a result of these unforeseen interferences, there are no ranked placing for this year's final three and no overall Hack of the Year winner. We sincerely apologise to the hack creators and any forum members who were excited to learn which game would claim HotY 2019.​
