The popular Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) coin recently launched has raised many complaints due to its unsatisfactory uptake. Several factors contributed to the flop:
It was all about the community: There were reasons why many players’ tempers were raised due to lost stake profits and other losses. Timing and communication of the airdrop was not proper and no one seemed to be sorry for it. The Hamster Kombat team had initially planned the airdrop in July only to shift it further, and upon users' complaints, it was set for late September.
Large Scalability: Out of the massive player population of over 300 million users of Hamster Kombat, eligible accounts for the airdrop accounted for only about 131 million (43%). This limit must have caused demoralization of a plurality of players, which resulted in displeasure.
Token price after listing: The moment the token became available for trade on major crypto exchanges, it began losing its value. It circulated in the first few hours at around $0.014 but took a nose dive to $0.0066 on the first day of circulation. This was even lower than the worst attributes of pre-list expectations. This fall, though reduced movement compared to expectations, raised fears about the token as well as investors.
Bad advertisements: The developers were attacked for putting too many ads instead of addressing community issues and game developmental aspects. This gap between the developers and the community has affected the game and led to calls for boycotts against it.
