The author never stated it was open sourced when the early access binaries were released.

They were released 2 days before the source. It was just an early access thing.

It was never known to everybody else that the source code would be available 2 days later. I still remember my surprise [1] back then. I, among others to which you still seem to have bad feelings, now believe that you were indeed not malicious and just bad at public relations like many of us. But that is the hindsight and no one would know it at that time.

No, it was written that the source would be released in 2 days.

There was also an announcement on Twitter.

I don't know who you are, and I have no bad feelings towards you.

You really ought to clarify that YOU are the author.
