BlockBeats News, November 5th, according to Protos, the Telegram "tap-to-earn" game Hamster Kombat, which claimed to have 300 million users in August, currently has a monthly active user base of only about 41 million, with over 260 million lost players. The game's token HMSTR plummeted by 76% from its September 26th high of $0.009993 to a current price of only $0.002392.
Earlier this year, Telegram's CEO referred to it as the "world's fastest-growing digital service," but the rough AI graphics and boring gameplay failed to retain players. The game frequently postponed airdrops and implemented a strict anti-cheat system, resulting in 2.3 million users being banned and 6.8 billion HMSTR tokens being confiscated. In addition, Hamster Kombat has also faced criticism from the Iranian and Russian governments, who believe it has a negative impact on society.
