Hamster Kombat is making waves on X (formerly Twitter), but not for the right reasons. The popular Telegram game has been trending due to player dissatisfaction and allegations of unfairness. Many players feel cheated and frustrated by the game’s recent decisions.
One of the main issues players are facing is the introduction of the “Cheating is Bad” card, which has disqualified numerous players from an airdrop scheduled for September 26th. This has led to a growing sense of betrayal among loyal players who have dedicated time and effort to the game.
Some players also complain about the sudden disappearance of their progress after months of playing. They wake up to find their days count reset to zero, leaving them feeling disillusioned and let down.
Referrals have also become a problem, with one player expressing frustration over not receiving the achievement for referring friends. This has led some players to suspect a pyramid scheme-like structure within the game.
To add to the discontent, players have discovered that the game’s achievements can reveal whether or not they are eligible for the airdrop. If the “Cheating is Bad” card is removed and not glowing, players are safe. However, if it is present and glowing, they are likely to be excluded from the airdrop.
With only 37% of Hamster Kombat CEOs deemed eligible for the airdrop, one player has written an open letter to the game’s management, criticizing their flawed system for identifying cheaters. The player argues that many cheaters are still able to take advantage of the game without consequences.
Furthermore, players are frustrated by the sudden shift in focus from the emphasis on PPH (points per hour) to key collection. The game’s management had previously announced that keys were not necessary for participating in the airdrop, yet players have been disqualified based solely on their key collection.
In response to these issues, a boycott movement has emerged, with players using a hashtag to express their dissatisfaction and calling for others to join them in protesting against Hamster Kombat.
Despite this backlash, Hamster Kombat has proceeded with its Interlude Season and is set to launch its HMSTR token and airdrop on September 26th. This interlude season has brought about significant changes to the game, such as the removal of certain features and the introduction of new ways to earn in-game diamonds.
However, creators of the TON platform have warned of potential network performance issues due to the high demand for the airdrop, highlighting the magnitude of the game’s popularity.
Overall, Hamster Kombat’s recent controversies and player dissatisfaction have cast a shadow over its reputation, leaving many fans disappointed and questioning the fairness of the game.
