Peps got this game for free, how

Hi!! It's been awhile since I played this game, and since it released, I remembered it.

I saw some review, and it says:

I participated in the beta also, but I didnt get the game for free. How do you get it for free?

There's another review that says they got it for free:

steamcommunity.com

Steam Community :: Hardlysleep.ing :: Review for s&box

I lost access but seem to have gotten it back? (never purchased the game) Odd. It's free so i'll recommend it at that price in 2 years. I've hated the hotdog since the game was announced, doubling down with it on all the marketing was a choice, not having regular player avatars setup to work as easily as them was also a choice.

Since I participated in Beta, I'd like to know how to get this game for free.

My access to the beta version got revoked pre-release.

I think this ship has sailed mate

You only keep the game if you spent any money on cosmetics, have built a game / were in the process of building a game, or you spent the last few weeks of the pre-release playing and reviewing games for multiple hours.

If you have not done any of that, you're not qualified to keep your pre-release license; and you should buy the game.
