Hamster Kombat Rejects VC Funding to Protect Player Community Amidst Explosive Growth

Hamster Kombat, a popular Web3 game, has drawn over 300 million users but has deliberately turned down offers from prominent venture capital firms. The game's developers made this choice to prioritise their player base and maintain a fair, meritocratic experience that focuses on rewarding actual gameplay instead of serving external investors. This decision contrasts with many Web3 projects that rely on venture capital, where the focus can shift towards exit strategies rather than long-term player engagement.To further empower their community, Hamster Kombat has reserved 60% of the upcoming HAMSTER token for players, while the rest will be allocated for liquidity, ecosystem development, and future partnerships. The developers have also hinted at hosting what could be the largest airdrop in crypto history as they continue to expand the game's presence.Despite this success, the rapid growth has made the community a target for scams and phishing attacks, leading the team to issue warnings to their users about fake airdrop promotions. As anticipation builds, the HAMSTER token is already available for pre market trading on Bybit’s OTC platform​.
