Topic: Whats your honest opinion about Telegram games? (Read 554 times)

If there's no promise rewards those people who are showing their interest will not play the game, they won't waste their time as they can find other different games online or on the app stores but since telegram games offers potential earnings that's the reason why gamers are hook on it hoping that they'll be able to catch something decent after playing the game, though reality wise, remove the potential income generated rewards we might see fewer people to play whatever games has been offered.

Provably that people is not there to play those telegram games, But rather they are there because there is a potential profit to get. If there's no reward to be given there's provably no one would waste their time to play on those telegram games.

Lots of people hype telegram games and promise something huge money to get by participating that's why those past telegram games became so huge. But after what happen with Hamster and Catizen I don't think if people will still have a huge trust to spend lots of time on those telegram games. Maybe there are still people will participate but for sure later on they realize that its hard to earn money on those projects.

If you ask me they are way too limited and we can't really see anything coming out of this. A proper game has to be either a client game where you download and install and play, or it has to be on a website. Telegram doesn't give enough creative freedom for this to work at all. I believe the best thing to do in this regard would be just focusing on what kind of profit that we could make with this and that is it.

It means that if we are seeing only the profit part of this deal and nothing more then we are not going to see anything greater at all. What we can see right now would be a bit of a trouble and can't grow at all. Focus on other stuff, this trend will not continue to be a thing that is big at all.

The amount of work doesn't matter if you are not going to do better marketing and provide something new for the market as well. People are bored with same old same old stuff, so if you just work hard and build a telegram app that we have seen so far then you are not going to et much attention, even with great marketing.

But, if you do something that has a new twist to it and could be more fun and have great design and great marketing then hard work would be good. This is why, nothing is enough all by itself, marketing isn't enough all by itself, and design isn't, and social media isn't, coding isn't, nothing is enough just one by self. But if you do all of them great then you are going to see a great amount of investors jumping into it.

Absolutely true. Many of those shillers and developers are the ones that make money the most and with all of the conditions that these games are being set by the devs, they want people to send such amount to claim the points that they set.

The influencers are getting more referrals and that means points and with that, that's going to make them money. But for them, they also work for it so there's no need to blame them with that as they've got popularity that they are using to capitalize the better amount that they can potentially get from these telegram airdrops and tap to earn games.

Well yea, thats true lol

Not only them, but also shillers / influencers, and so much more.
Unfortunately, sometimes community is not in the needed ranks 

The only one who really makes money on it is the game dev

The amount of hard work one puts into a project will be seen by the investors, when you work hard and actually develop something amazing, then people will appreciate it and will give you their funding. Obviously, this isn't the end of the story, you have to keep working towards how to make better games as well, and if you keep doing this then you are going to end up with a much better result without a trouble.

Hard work is worthless without talent, so I am sure we need hard workers with a good amount of talent as well. If you can find a project that has both great quality and hard working devs as well then I am not against investing my time or money into them, but so far all I see are greedy scammers trying to ride the wave for this trend.

Yeah, it's going to be fatiguing for us, if we talk about the tap to earn games, for sure there are people that are getting tired of this kind of games as it is boring already. And we have heard that there is one airdrop that really disappoints a lot of it's follower as they didn't expect that it will be little for the hard work that they have done in the last seven months or so.

So now, it could really set a trend for the next project. Like I heard that there will be one airdrop at the end of this month. And so with that, I wouldn't put any expectations on it as to not get disappointed or maybe this could be the last airdrop as this game is not going to make people love it because it will not be worth it at all.

even though by paving the way for game development in it, and completely new with Ton telegram, all need to be digested with the old steps from the beginning as the application of choice, with the entry of new people I think it will not be the same as their influencers have tried more than us, and everyone's views are different.

First of all, I do not participate in airdrops that have daily task transactions because they are no longer called airdrops. That's blatant fraud, in my opinion. Because the real airdrops will create a task for the participants to be eligible for the airdrops.

And if you make a transaction, that's when the rewards from the airdrops have been given to you based on the activity you did. Because if it is tolerated by other participants who are ignorant and silly or easily fooled and gullible, exploitative developers will think that such airdrops are possible. As if what is happening is that you are buying the coins without being sure if they have value or not. Because if that's the case, just buy coins that are already listed on the top exchanges instead of that.

Numbers are the sales for them. I am not impressed with the telegram games. What real games are from the platforms, steam, gog, sony, other giant gaming companies. And if there's a way for them to integrated it with real money and crypto, that's going to be the an OG game of all time.

New projects that tries their best will always get the hype that they deserved but those who are serious and not only here for quick profits can remain longer and maybe they will have a hype again later on. First few projects about telegram games are still interesting but later projects are mostly copycats. There are still people who don't give a shit. What is only important for them is that they can earn out of these projects. Hamster Kombat is not on its near death but I think it have died already because even before, a lot of people are already feeling bad about it and their suspicions are true by the time it got listed.

Even though many projects have nothing new to offer or are useless, I think they still spent something to build their project. They have also spent some effort and time. They aren't built from nothing in short. It is not an excuse to worship them though. A lot of these games must be free, so it would be a good idea to not invest any. That way even if they end up tragically, the feeling won't be worse as when we invest our hard-earned money at them. More if they are somehow fun to play. Video games are usually built for this anyway. It was mostly the fun feeling is the ones that they can offer to us.

Easy to say but it is really that hard to achieve out such condition which you would really be able to build up your network.It might be that so easily to hear of but building one will really be taking up some time
and also not all would really be that successful on building or making one. There are ones who do able to make it but majority will really be that failing up because making someone follows you does really need out that kind of niche on which that you are trying out to build. Of course these influencers are really that cherishing out or getting the fruits of their labor on which they are making easy money through referrals
specially not only really just that limited to drops but also into referral earnings on other niche as well. This is why dont get jealous if there would really be those people who would be able to obtain much more
bonuses or money out from these TG games or even into those referral based kind of projects or other correlated into it. Just mind your own business and do your own.

I have no idea why you can say like this.

If you thin the famous people and influencers are easy to make money than Average Joe, why you didn't try to become influencer in the first place? you can start as small as you can and grow your account.

You're only complaining here, those famous people and influencers spend more time and effort than Average Joe, that's why they earn more.

Not all that started the game that ended it well, because there are some people that lost in the telegram game but they have learned their lesson because they think it is easy to win like their casino game. But those that lost in the past without much knowledge of the game they will be afraid to buy plenty base on what happened before, not knowing that they lack the strategy that made them to lose.

Now that many people are joining to be part of the shares which it will make them to create time for the game, and it will make the developers to make more money from the game.

Well said I agree. They getting really greedy some games is up for months and IMO that is totally pointless but they are as you said greedy for their fee's and this "Promote TON blockchain"-scam.
Also it's good yes for famous people and influencer with the referral system, but for us normal people it makes it so much harder to earn something in the airdrop.

            -    Developer team is getting greedy with telegram. I know that referral system is a good thing on their project.
this is why there are so many people on their platform. what I dont understand now and i dont like is  the TG upgrade and you need to pay them stars for some task.
Before, People are earning ion their project specially on their airdrops.
now, the project is having their income with the participants what a turn around.

We didn't just know early from the beginning but if you look at most of the mini games that pop out from different corner last months, they are just projects that are coin by group of influencers that want to enrich their selfs and that's all, there is nothing the telegram is benefiting other just making users waste their time, the project only help increase the transaction numbers and exchange enjoy just the users that joined their platform, the team collect TON and then make another partnership with the exchange to list and then move to another project.

What baffle me about this telegram mini game is that it's not like they game is helping the telegram open network, they are just launching meme games on the platform and I'm pitying them how they are going to raise the total value lock coin on the network, there is not unique thing that has been done on the network despite yhe hype, just some crazy dude launching useless projects every day.

I agree to that, even spending your own money to upgrade and to make sure that you'll be able to make some decent amount of shares but in terms of supplies those billions that will be available that will hurt the value of your stake and sooner or later those who shows interest will fade and will just wait for their time to sell what they already hold.

You need to understand the clear vision of the game and how the developers will engage the project to more potential investors and holders, if you think that after studying the project still got good potential then continue if not then time for you to explore and find a new one.

Its an airdrop concept that is so popular now but will soon come to fade because of the way things are being implemented. You work hard day and night and spend funds to upgrade your account and buy stuff to level your account, and you're still going to end up getting a dust of the billions supply of their tokens.

This is a huge change from airdrops on old days where you just needed to send your wallet and you would get your airdrop; now you need to do a lot of tasks; they even ask for KYC and pay for an upgrade before you receive a very small portion.

They are exhausting, honestly.

You are right, most of their games are targeting the spreading of the news about them and mostly by sharing, clicking, reposting, retweeting, or whatever means just so they can get the attention of the masses.
Then, before you could even claim a part of their airdrop, you will have to work hard every day and it's eating a lot of time for a single person. I've heard news about these Telegram games being banned in different countries because some of their workers are not concentrating at work anymore but just tapping their phones.
I guess they built it so no one gets bored but damn, it's too exhausting and that's just one game for me and I already quit.  

None of them could be good in the end, these tokens are terrible and results are going to be very hard to achieve on the long run and telegram apps are quite terrible. We need to just focus on what we are going to profit from all of these, there are a lot of trouble on the long run for these tokens as well.

We need to consider how so far we have seen plenty of problems arise from these and people spent insane amount of money on this and we need to remember how this is going to be even worse. We are going to see this changing for the long term as well. Just realize how we are going to see this trend die down and not going to make any money at all, so we are not going to really be assuming anything further about this at all.

unfortunately this is the case, people are promised hope and the reality hits like truck.

the truth about these telegram game is that, without the community they are nothing yet these telegram game just hoarding all the money instead of doing service to community by doing huge allocation distribution toward the community.

in a nutshell, the dev just trying to inflate the metric from overpromising, then cash in when time is right.

only very select few project that actually live up to the expectation.

I've never come across a single case of this hype where the developer specifically asked for access to the user's wallet, which is a possible problem, but there's a problem that has become a problem, namely the exploitation of trends by irresponsible developers, simply copying the work of other developers, and making it their own, which can then end up scamming their users. As an example is X Empire, it was 100% a concept created by Hamster Kombat, they then developed it and in the next few days their token will be listed on several leading CEXs.

The whole idea of investing and the collaboration was suddenly how telegram recently make a way for crypto because no one actually saw this coming and the idea have been somthing thay everyone wants to copy and it is going to trend for a while because for those that actually understands bitcoin they know that everything about it is based on trend so this period is now for games on telegram the innovation looks interesting but only few projects will still survive because a lot of people might just bail out of it. That's the issue scammers will always want to take advantage of every trend and they will want to invest even the project that they don't have idea about and that is what lands people in trouble in most times. They may even ask for access to their wallet and from there they might end up been hacked.

These projects have actually helped the Ton network gain momentum and growth and have been widely adopted by developers and have also helped increase the network’s users and activity, but on the other hand, these projects for mini-games on Telegram have causeed great pressure on the Ton networkk, and Telegram games will undoubtedly harm the reputation of the network if scam rates increase within it, and there are millions of people who may take a bad impression of cryptocurrencies if they lose their money and time engaging in these games.

With increased awareness,, they will certainly move away from the Telegram games trend and these so-called free airdrops, which have now become a trap for newcomers in the crypto space. The  Click to Earn games trend, like many other trends, will shine brightly at first, only to lose its luster later on. I believe that with the rise of scammy projects and greedy developers, the ideal solution is to stop wasting time on these games altogether.

My honest opinion on these Telegram games is they started well and end up being cash cows for developers. If you check on these games, there are similarities in features, like if you want to get more, you need to upgrade your account and buy stars, and you also need to watch ads if you are active. These are revenue options for the developers.
The participants are in the race to have more shares while the developers are collecting money.

These games are just a trend which will not last for more than two years, I feel that two years is even large to compare how long the telegram games will be taken serious. Already, so many people have abandoned the game because the rewards are not worth it. The first airdrops was more rewarding compare to these new ones that are coming up now.

I never believed in them, but yeah we are on the same team here. I never really assumed these would be good ever, and I do not think they will ever be good. Just because one of them did good once in the past, doesn't mean all of them or any of them will do fine. There aren't any "fun" games out there neither, I mean the idea of telegram app making you play every day is something I can see doing great in the future, as long as there is actually a game which makes sense.

Go take a look at "adventure capitalist", a clicker game which is similar and probably one of the first to do this, and people paid millions on playing it and purchasing that game. Looking at this right now, seeing how these telegram games are made, they are worse than that 10+ year old game. Do something new and entertaining and you can convince some people. I believe the more we do this, the more trouble we are going to be in and we should focus on how to get better results.

Yes, it is very innovative and also attracts a lot of attention, but all the hype will sink again later. As long as Pavel Durov telegram funder still supports projects from the telegram game ecosystem, it will continue to have an appeal, provided that telegram game hunters want profit. Like now, there are many mini apps that have launched their tokens on centralized exchanges, including Binance, which is also participating in it. However, based on the benefits, to be honest, it is not comparable to what is being done. The number of Mini Apps carried by telegram is countless, utilizing millions of telegram users and then rewarded with airdrop tokens. In my opinion, it's still just a waste of time, you won't get big results from it.

Expectations will always be high for projects where people need to do simple actions and get rewarded for them.. Because it's so easy to do such tasks, people in them don't stick around and get only dimes from the amounts of profit that you mentioned.

It's part of the business, developers build projects because there is potential money in it when hunters are easy to trick where they have to make deals by paying from 0.1 to 0.5 tons.
Not to mention that YouTube advertising has a huge income from its ads, plus pre-sales the dev will pocket a lot of money.

So it's natural that the detractors are disappointed to get what they don't deserve, because the dev only intends to make as much profit as possible instead of developing the project.

The developers are clever, they create a non sense project, they make money from people who purchase their pre-sale tokens, Youtube ad sense, and partnership, then they will distribute "some profit" to their bounty hunters. At the end bounty hunters enrich the developers and they receive not worthy reward from completing all tasks.

People are still hoping a huge reward like ICO pump in 2017...

I see the hype around some of these tap-to-earn games but i have no interest at all in any of them, i have never played any. I am not surprised about the hype surrounding them, people are allured to whatever they think they can make money from, funny thing is these airdrops disappoint most of them in the end. Developers would not stop launching these games, it is a quick way for them to make money from people.

Honestly, telegram games are waste of time. Remove the profit potential feature then no one will play these games since the gameplay is so basic and boring. Many people just keep playing it since they are expecting for free money while in reality it’s a complete nonsense since the token rewards is just very small.

I’d rather spend my time focusing on side hustle that gives better earnings or play my games on my game console with better graphics and gameplay instead of playing garbage telegram games.

These mini games of telegram are all half baked games.

Ye that's sick. I didn't think of it before I saw that post Gem Institue.
I'm also ok with paying a fee but as you saying, not for everything possible like daily fee, upgrade and more.
Well said!


I think we have the exactly same perspectives.


Yeah you're right, it's sad because when it comes something new and good it always brings people with bad intention that trying to take advantage of it and earn some fast money.


I feel the same, its pure scams and they don't care about their tokens future they only care about to milk their community as much as possible and I think it will harm the reputation of TON and Crypto.

It was good back then, nowaday? not so much many of these so called devs are just trying to milk people into giving them money.

moreover most of their airdrop aren't even worth mentioning, I think trend has shifted, and what's left of these telegram games are just some mediocre project which sole purpose is trying to be rich and become cash cow for the developers.

exactly, they are just trying to milk people in the name of promoting ton blockchain, what they are doing on the other hand, aren't promoting, but instead give bad impression to ton users.

I have seen many similar posts about Telegram airdrops and to be honest, it is just another hype that will soon fade away. Check how the Telegram coins listed through those games are doing in the market and you will see that there is nothing so special about them. Some of them like Harmster Kombat, are already near their death, others will follow because they are practically built on nothing other than they hype. Anyone taking part in those games should just be smart about them and never invest what they cannot afford to lose.

There are 2 contradictory values, the hype of Telegram games has a positive impact because it has succeeded in bringing new people to the crypto industry. On the other side, these games also have a bad influence because in fact, more of these games trap people into scams which gives a bad image of crypto to normies. I'm sure many of you will agree with what I said, after that it's up to us to help educate people about wise attitudes in viewing a project.

Telegram games are becoming like a scam now a days and many people that had been a victim are now retracing their ways because why would an airdrops that is never retroactive be asking for an OG pass because you can get an airdrop from them. Cats airdrop is one of the most useless airdrops I've seen not different from the once that scammed their community and now we are seeing that MemeFi is following the same part which is to extort money from the community and leave them with airdrops that worth nothing. These devs are criminals and they do not have respect for their communities. I think many gamers and miners are now very careful of falling victim again.

At some point, when the hype is still there then it's fruitful for most of the people that spots out these games. But then, because of it being capitalized by hype, it will eventually forgotten and majority of the people will stop farming with those games. They're not actually games at all as the essence of real life games isn't there. It's made to farm for those joiners of airdrops.

And the real world application of it isn't really amazing at all. While the participants are quick to join them, the developers are the real winners here. Let's say if they're making 1 cent per transaction done by all of the joiners and they have 50 million users globally. You do the calculation and it's not just a one time thing that they're making at all. The distribution and valuation of the token that they're releasing to the public isn't a lot compared to how much money they have already made.

Exactly and people should open their eyes. Long time gone into those interest and hype about TG games on which it turned out that it is really that an easy money for its developers now.

You could really be able to expect for this thing to happen on which whenever the hype builds in into a particular trend then those scam devs will really be making use of it at the advantage.
They will really be going along with the waves and trying out to take advantage of the hype. On the moment that they do build up that momentum then they are really that trying out to
milk users via having those kind of purchases and upgrades.

I can consider out that TG games now are already that shit and not really worth of the time. Long time gone after that $NOT and $DOGS hype.

In crypto everything is trend, currently we are in the telegram mining app game trend, when the trend dies down, we will hardly hear about all those games, and currently, people are already losing interest in all those games because they didn’t get the reward that they were expecting in most of those airdrops. People received little reward from catizen, Hamster Kombat paid dust to people, cats paid dust also, so people are already losing interest. I saw people delete their telegram account after selling their Hamster Kombat coin, they received so little amount, and their expectations were so high, but they get disappointed. So time will come when no one will even be talking about all those games again, another trend will be coming up.

People didn’t complain about dogs because they received a reasonable amount of money, and all they used was your telegram age and some basic tasks that you will have to perform. But cats were asking people to pay for daily transactions and requested 1 ton for one particular transaction, but people ended up disappointed after listing the coin.

Yes, in the beginning it was really cool concept though, until they've incorporated some of this concept like you need to buy some TON, minimum 0.5 to upgrade your account and supposedly you can buy more to harvest more = more CATS or whatever the project is.

So if you love those tap to earn games, then somewhat you are going to fall for this trick. However, I've seen some fatigue as well, as months after months you have to do it and then when the upcoming airdrops comes along, you are going to disappoint as how much you are going to received and maybe in the end you really going to lose some big money with this kind of Telegram games.

We have different perspectives about these airdrops, some people keep believing that some of these telegram games will pay huge amounts of money, while people like me don't believe in them anymore because the new projects are suspicious and they come with the intention of milking money from the community.

Ton blockchain owners are allowing all these airdrops under chain blockchain to promote the blockchain. Still, these project owners have started to make TON transactions compulsory so that they can earn a lot from the community since they noticed that some projects that demanded money paid participants that paid to do some TON transaction, and because of this, everyone willing to make money will make sure they look for money to run the transaction to avoid missing out. And they end up paying cents and dust to their participants.

These developers are making fortunes with all you've mentioned. I stopped paying and upgrading my account because this becomes a cash cow for developers. There was one airdrop that just asked for Ton, and you do not need to do anything; they will give you their tokens every hour.
Just do the math: if one airdrop had 1 million and if half of them paid 1 Ton for upgrades, that's easy money for these developers.
Also, have you all noticed that so many of its best features are paid upgrades, so its not about your effort and time anymore; its the amount of money you can invest.
I'm ok with paying with fees for my allocation but not on paying for the so many upgrades just to have more allocation.

What do you think about these Telegram games?
I'm relatively new to this area but have played a couple of them but not that long so can't really have an opinion yet so I'm asking for your opinion.  
Do you think these games will damage the TON network in the long run and maybe also the crypto reputation? Or do you think people will see through it and stop farming these games?
Because let's be honest, an air-drop and a release could and should happen without having to farm a game for weeks, even months and surely these games are there for the team to make money and not to build a brand?
I think this sentence is so incredibly illogical "Promote TON blockchain" and then you have to send them ^{0.2, 0.5, 1 TON}. Myself have paid some games but not many of them and now everyday you see a new game with the same sentence  "Promote TON blockchain"  
And you can also make daily transactions, I played dogs but very little and it felt legit and you didn't have to deposit money, but these cats, hamsters and others have been really ugly that take your time and money even if it's a small amount. And in the end for what? For nothing? And the reason they continue with new phases is to milk out more and more money right?

What do you think about this? Is this good or bad for TON and crypto in general?

My personal opinion is that they focus too much on invites into the game so it favors content creators/famous people or other projects that have a task that you need to play a other game, I think that's wrong because not everyone have like 10+ friends that you can demand want to join these games, it should just be enough that you are active time to time, its more or less impossible to invite a lot of people and also spend a lot of time + do daily tx's.

I saw an article on Gem Institue's Telegram channel. I am attaching a picture so you can decide for yourself.
