The highly anticipated game Hamster Kombat recently announced its airdrop, but instead of rallying support, the community has turned against the project due to the distribution process, causing widespread discontent.

Hamster Kombat, a popular “tap-to-earn” game hosted on Telegram, shared details about its Season 1 airdrop, leading up to its token launch set for September 26. However, the announcement, which was expected to generate excitement, has left many players frustrated and disappointed.

Token Distribution Sparks Controversy:

According to the latest updates, players will not be able to claim their entire allocation of HMSTR tokens immediately. Only 88.75% of the tokens will be unlocked, while the remaining 11.25% will be locked under a 10-month vesting period. Full withdrawal will not be available until July 2025. Many players feel "misled," as this vesting schedule was not disclosed prior to the airdrop announcement.

Further fueling the frustration, many players who spent months engaging with the game received only a few dozen to a few hundred HMSTR tokens, far less than the initial expectation of a 600-million token distribution. With the token’s anticipated listing price around $0.001, players would earn less than $10 after four to five months of participation.

Airdrop Rule Changes Disqualify Large Numbers of Players:

The situation worsened when many participants were disqualified due to last-minute changes in the airdrop criteria. Initially, the project promoted the Points Per Hour (PPH) system, which rewarded players for consistent gameplay. However, just before the snapshot was taken, Hamster Kombat introduced a new anti-cheating system requiring players to collect specific keys. This shift came despite prior assurances that key collection would not be necessary for the airdrop.

As a result, many loyal players were disqualified for failing to meet the new criteria, despite months of effort. Some players who utilized multiple accounts or automated tools to gather keys were still eligible for the airdrop, further adding to the feeling of unfairness. As one disqualified player expressed:

Hamster Kombat must reconsider this decision. The community is being treated unfairly.

Widespread Discontent in the Community:

According to the announcement, of the more than 300 million registered players, only 131 million qualified for the airdrop, with 2.3 million banned for alleged cheating. However, some sources suggest that up to 65% of players were disqualified, fueling even more outrage among the community.

The project's failure to provide detailed explanations or evidence regarding the disqualifications, beyond a brief message that "cheating is bad," has only deepened the frustration among many legitimate players.

Conclusion:

As the dust settles, the Hamster Kombat community remains divided, with many calling for changes to the airdrop system and greater transparency from the project. Whether the game will be able to recover from this controversy remains to be seen, but the trust between the developers and the players has undoubtedly been damaged.
