The viral Telegram-based game Hamster Kombat faces an uncertain future as internal conflicts and disputes with investors threaten to derail its progress.
Recent reports have shed light on tensions within the project, potentially impacting the highly anticipated HMSTR token airdrop and overall development.
The controversy began on August 16 when local media outlet Lenta.ru reported internal conflicts within the Hamster Kombat team, centering on a dispute with investor AD.RU.
The article, which was later removed, alleged that the game’s creators refused to share profits with AD.RU despite its significant involvement in financing and developing key mechanics for the project.
Anton Gorshkov, CEO of AD.RU, claims that his firm played a crucial role in the game’s development.
According to Gorshkov, AD.RU initially invested $600,000 in a collaboration proposed by Eduard Gurinovich in 2020 for a mobile gaming and esports platform called Arenum. Gurinovich is a Russian IT entrepreneur and is reportedly known as one of the masterminds behind Hamster Kombat.
This investment gave AD.RU an 18.6% stake, which later increased to 25% after the company’s marketing efforts helped secure over $1 million in additional investments.
However, Gurinovich refuted AD.RU’s claims in June 2024, stating that the company had no role in developing Hamster Kombat.
In response, AD.RU presented a technical report that showed that Hamster Kombat’s servers share the same hosting as Arenum.
