Hamster Kombat, a well-known play-to-earn (P2E) gaming platform, is presently in the midst of a storm as users express mounting frustration and fury about recent disqualifications from the siteâs highly anticipated Season 1 airdrop.
The backlash derives from what many gamers see as unfair criteria that have left a large part of the community feeling misled and disappointed.
In recent times, Hamster Kombat announced that the first season of its in-game rewards will conclude on September 20, 2024, ahead of next weekâs highly anticipated HMSTR token launch and airdrop. The outrage centers on the sudden and unexpected disqualification of approximately 63% of players from the Season 1 airdrop, allegedly due to their collection of in-game keys. Many players were previously led to believe that these keys were not essential for airdrop eligibility.
However, as the airdrop approachs, it became clear that key collection was crucial for receiving rewards, resulting in many players being disqualified.
Many players see these changes as betrayal, especially those who have dedicated months to building their Point Per Hour (PPH). The Point Per Hour is a metric emphasized by Hamster Kombat as key to airdrop eligibility. The last-minute addition of key collection as a deciding factor has left players felling that their efforts were wasted.
