Controversy Surrounds X Empire’s Airdrop Allocations
However, the criteria used to determine eligibility for the airdrop have not sat well with a segment of the game’s community. Many players expressed their dissatisfaction on social media, questioning why they were excluded from the airdrop. The game’s creator, Alex Falcon, addressed these concerns in a Telegram post, explaining that “active friends,” profit-per-hour marks, and quest completion were key factors in the final airdrop calculations. Falcon emphasized, “Everyone who truly invested time in X Empire gained access to the drop.”
Despite these clarifications, some players felt that the emphasis on “active friends” unfairly influenced the airdrop outcomes. This sentiment has led to direct appeals to Elon Musk, who, despite his likeness being used in the game, has no official affiliation with it. Players have implored Musk to intervene or at least acknowledge the situation, although he has yet to respond.
Broader Implications for Web3 Gaming
The controversy surrounding X Empire is not an isolated incident in the world of web3 gaming. Similar issues have arisen with other Telegram games like Catizen and Hamster Kombat, where players voiced concerns over opaque allocation criteria and the perceived inadequacy of rewards.
Engagement and Transparency in Token Allocations
The ongoing situation with X Empire underscores the importance of clear communication and transparency in token allocations within the web3 space. As this sector continues to grow, fostering a sense of fairness and inclusivity among users will be crucial for maintaining engagement and trust.
