As interest in Hamster Kombat declines, PAWS surges, outperforming the once-top Telegram Mini App.
Once a leading tap-to-earn game on Telegram, Hamster Kombat has seen a steep decline in its user base and engagement due to political backlash, bans and new competition.
Hamster Kombat boasted 300 million users in August, but as of Nov. 5, the game has only 41 million active monthly players — an 86% decrease.
Meanwhile, Paws, a newly launched Mini App on Telegram, has surged in popularity, reaching 20.5 million users in its first eight days, surpassing Hamster Kombat’s growth trajectory.
According to IntoTheBlock (ITB) data, on Sept. 27, active Hamster Kombat addresses peaked at around 772,330. Since then, user activity and token interest have waned, falling more than 36% in the past week.

This is something natural and highly expected as a result of their deception and the disappointment of the community with the Hamster team, after months of working on the application and wasting a lot of time they gave subscribers a little bit of garbage whose price is still decreasing continuously.
They were not honest from the beginning despite the great popularity they gained, but because of their greed and stupidity they deceived people instead of gaining their trust.
Well, I am happy because you said "because of their greed and stupidity", for indeed, greed and stupidity is what cost them a fortune of an opportunity. I really do not blame the Hamster team for a small airdrop they gave to their players, which we all who understand how this things works can indeed, agree that it's not really their fault, the number of users who qualified for the airdrop was too much, way too much that even if they distributed the entire supply of the token which is 100 billion, alot of persons still won't be satisfied as what they would get won't match the time and effort they put into the game..
So, for me, their mistake was allowing too many people into the game when they have no provision for such magnitude of users, and they made this mistake due to their greed, they were making alot of money from users through social media engagements and views on their YouTube videos, they completely neglected the community that gave them the opportunity.
So, in essence, it is what it is and a lesson for others to learn.
