Is Honor of Kings 'Sore Loser' Over Mid-Autumn Rewards? Benefits Program Pulled Shortly After Launch

Recently, players reported a bizarre situation regarding an Honor of Kings QQ welfare event for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The event promised free companion skins and ranked protection cards with minimal effort. However, the webpage crashed shortly after launch, and the entire event was subsequently removed, leading the community to mock the developer as being a 'sore loser' (unable to afford the promised rewards).

This sparked intense discussion in the comments section. Some players criticized Tencent's increasingly stingy management style, noting that the company had previously converted all skin trial cards to expire within three days to prevent players from hoarding them. Others were less surprised, citing similar 'launch-then-pull' events in other Tencent titles like Dungeon & Fighter, calling it a typical corporate move to cut back on freebies.
