Hamster Kombat Hype Turns To Gripes After HMSTR Token Plummets On Launch

The
hype
around
Telegram
clicker
game
Hamster
Kombat
quickly
turned
to
gripes
after
the
HMSTR
token
imploded
on
launch
and
players
slammed
the
project’s
airdrop.

The
HMSTR
token
slumped
as
much
as
50%
after
listing
on
major
crypto
exchanges
yesterday
as
frustration
over
the
project
erupted
on
social
media
platforms.

“You
gave
me
dust
after
4
months,”


said

one
X
user
while
venting
his
frustration
towards
the
airdrop.
”I
am
killing
hamsters,
rats,
rabbits
or
anything
that
looks
like
a
hamster.”

HMSTR
is
trading
at
$0.006655
as
of
10:07
a.m.
EST,
down
26%
from
its
launch
price.
It
has
a
market
capitalization
of
$428
million,
making
it
the
423rd
biggest
crypto,
according
to
CoinMarketCap.

Hamster
Kombat
Players
Criticize
The
Team
For
HMSTR’s
Unfair
Distribution

Hamster
Kombat

distributed
60
billion
HMSTR
tokens,
which
is
60%
of
the
crypto’s
supply,
through
multiple
tier-1
exchanges
including
Binance,
OKX
and
BitGet
yesterday.

Following
months
of
participating
in
the
game,
completing
quests,
and
promoting
Hamster
Kombat,
several
players
were
angered
after
only
receiving
as
little
as
$2
worth
of
tokens.

A
major
issue
that
has
been
brought
up
online
is
the
token’s
distribution.
Some
of
the
game’s
once-loyal
players
accused
the
project’s
team
of
unfairly


disqualifying

63%
of
participants
from
receiving
tokens. 

Out
of
the
game’s
300
million
players,
only
131
million
qualified
for
the
token
distribution
event.
Another
2.3
million
lost
their
eligibility
recently
for
alleged
cheating.

To
make
matters
worse,
community
members
who
backed
the
project
received
meager
rewards,
while
influencers
reportedly
received
millions
of
tokens
for
hardly
any
effort.

Some
disgruntled
airdrop
participants
also
left
comments
for
the
project’s
smart
contract
on
the
TON
network.
“Assholes,
be
cursed
with
your
airdrop,”
one
person


wrote.

Angry


Hamster

players
are
now
urging
others
to
block
the
project’s
bot
as
well
as
boycott
its
social
media
accounts.
Conversations
linked
to


#HMSTRSCAM

are
also
trending
online.

Many
have
said
that
they
will
not
be
participating
in
the
second
season
of
the
airdrop
campaign,
anticipating
that
the
next
distribution
will
be
just
as
disappointing.
