Players of the Telegram tap-to-earn game 'X Empire' have voiced concerns about the airdrop of X tokens, which is set to be launched on the TON blockchain. Despite the game's high player count, with claims of over 50 million total players, only a fraction—6 million—will receive tokens, leading to confusion and complaints online. The game's creator, Alex Falcon, stated that eligibility was determined by criteria such as having 'active friends' in the game, alongside other performance metrics. This has caused backlash as many believe that the criteria were not clearly communicated. Players have taken to social media, tagging Elon Musk in their complaints, blaming him for the perceived unfairness due to his association with the game's branding. Although Musk is not involved with the game, the nature of the game, which features avatars inspired by him, has led to this confusion. Falcon maintains that those who put genuine effort into the game will see rewards, and the token is expected to have utility in future applications.
