Obviously, they lied to the community and that is the major reasons people are angry at them. They were never sincere from the beginning to the point that they deviated from the original plans as it bothers the community. They neglected their community in every ramification and were busy taking drastic decisions without any considerations for the community who made them who they are today. I believe other yet to be listed projects have seen their lapses and possibly learnt from them to not make such mistake on their project.
Hamster Kombat had the potential to be one of the best project if this year , because of the multiple folks wey engage with the project, but due to trying to greed of wanting more they endup disappointing their players they forget say without their community they are nothing and they need their community, to keep growing but they have already use their hands to spoil what they have built. Alot folks won't trust that project again and many won't participate in their season two
They could not control their greed as they saw they were making money from their channels coupled with the fact that millions of people were onboarded on daily basis which gives them more money when they watch their you tube videos and other engagements. They began to delay the process realizing the influx of people and in the course of being greedy, they shot themselves on their foot.
Their second phase is near dead on arrival as nothing is being heard about them anymore. People are angry over their experience with the project while some are disappointed with the way and manner they handled a once aspiring project to a mere nothing to write home about. No more twitter buzz as it used to be, it is unfortunate how the project crumbled overnight. Currently, the price dumped drastically and begging to be resuscitated.
