#HMSTR Hamster Kombat developers using key generators to intentionally disqualify users and maintain a minimum token supply aligns with some concerns raised within the community. Many users feel the system was manipulated to benefit a select few, while simultaneously generating massive buzz-and engagement through controversy [_citation:1,Hamster Kombat is trending on X, and for all the wrong reasons – Players got played).

By disqualifying legitimate users under the pretext of cheating or other arbitrary mechanisms, the developers may have aimed to keep the token supply smaller while maintaining a larger audience aware of the token's existence. This approach could artificially inflate scarcity and increase the perceived value of the token when it launches. At the same time, the widespread backlash and social media engagement serve to generate free publicity, even if negative, which could paradoxically increase interest in the token.

This tactic, if true, could backfire. Although creating buzz through controversy might work in the short term, long-term trust and sustained user interest could be damaged, undermining the token's success after the initial launch. If the community continues to feel betrayed, the HMSTR token could face serious market resistance, leading to price drops rather than the intended scarcity-driven increase.
