Do you know what happened with the famous Telegram game Hamster Kombat? The recent launch of the Hamster Kombat ($HMSTR ) token has sparked a massive negative reaction from the crypto community, leading to accusations of it being a scam.

The project, which was a highly anticipated tap-to-earn game on Telegram, held its airdrop on September 26, 2024. However, many users were disappointed to receive very small amounts of tokens, often worth less than $10, despite their prolonged participation in the game. The token’s price also plummeted shortly after being listed on exchanges, dropping more than 50% within hours.

Several issues contributed to the poor reception. During the launch, network problems made it difficult for many users to access and trade their tokens. Additionally, accusations of unfair distribution surfaced, with claims that influencers received better rewards compared to regular participants. The project also banned millions of users shortly before the airdrop, citing cheating as the reason, which further damaged its reputation.

As a result, many players are now accusing Hamster Kombat of being a Ponzi scheme, and there’s already talk of potential lawsuits. The hashtag #HMSTRSCAM has been gaining traction as frustration within the community grows.
