Active users have significantly decreased, and the game's popularity is no longer.
The once-popular Telegram game 'Hamster Kombat' is currently facing a dilemma of declining user activity and token prices. According to the latest reports, the game's monthly active user count has plummeted from 300 million in August to only 41 million, a reduction of 86%. This huge drop has raised concerns in the industry about its ability to maintain its user base and its ranking on global gaming platforms.
Not only has the number of users significantly decreased, but the native cryptocurrency token $HMSTR of Hamster Kombat has also encountered a severe price drop. After reaching a high of $0.009993 on September 26, the price of $HMSTR plummeted by 76% within a month, currently standing at $0.002392. This phenomenon is primarily attributed to reduced demand for the game and investors' doubts about the token's viability.
Reasons behind user attrition
The reasons for the decline in users and token value of Hamster Kombat may be multifaceted. Firstly, the overall poor performance of the gaming and cryptocurrency markets recently may have negatively impacted Hamster Kombat.
Secondly, Hamster Kombat's failure to fulfill its community commitments is another major reason for user attrition. Many players criticized the game for failing to meet its basic promises, such as delays in the airdrop plan and internal conflicts, leading to daily player losses. Many users invested significant time and effort, hoping for sustainable income or rich gaming experiences, only to feel disappointed and even betrayed in the end.
Many people in the community claim that they brought benefits to the game through their interactions, yet they did not receive corresponding returns, feeling 'conned' by the developers. This limited reward has had a lasting negative impact on users who expected more returns.
Additionally, the game's airdrop plan has caused dissatisfaction among many players. Reports indicate that most users earned only single-digit dollar returns after months of gameplay. This situation has sparked widespread anger and questions about the game's integrity.
Can Hamster Kombat make a comeback?
Facing user dissatisfaction, Hamster Kombat faces a huge challenge in regaining player interest and enhancing token value. The team plans to integrate NFTs as in-game assets in the second quarter, expected to launch this month. However, this news has yet to reignite market interest in the project.
This situation highlights the importance of transparency, fulfilling commitments, and recognizing user contributions in the competitive crypto gaming industry. As cryptocurrency analyst Mario Nawfal commented: "A lesson for all meme coin enthusiasts: Rapid rise? Cool. But if your project can't keep their interest, be ready for a free fall."
Overall, Hamster Kombat needs to take proactive measures to restore player confidence, which may include improving gameplay, increasing rewards, and strengthening communication with the community. Only then can it regain a foothold in the competitive market.
