I mentioned my email-id there, to contact and discuss their concerns with me. If someone still feels unsatisfied, he is allowed to post a negative review. But bringing 25+ 1/5 ratings with him on the same day, getting my replies group-downvoted is not a solution.

If the developer is not meant to be trusted, then what is a good solution to this problem? Not everyone would want to open-source their app/game.

Your app is already "open source", I can download the crx and look at all the source code, but not a lot of people do this. If you want to seem trustworthy then put it on github with a restrictive license if you feel so inclined.

yep source code of all chrome apps is available to everyone yet I wont call it open source. Open source is a step more from source code being available. I second the decision for choosing a restrictive license and putting the code over github.

Yeah, I know it's not technically called open source, but I mean that the source is available and readable. Hence the quotes. :)
