Apparatus (Habbo's Co-Founder) leaves Sulake

[Michael]

Apparatus (Habbo Co-Founder) is no longer working at Sulake. {May 2000 - Jan 2013}
- https://twitter.com/Puhekupla_Staff

I saw this on ''Habbo staff updates'' twitter (run by Puhekupla). Pretty shocking that he has left, I wonder why.

[Nick]

Wow. That is a long time :O Wonder why :P

[karter]

oh **** i didn't know he was still around!

[xxMATTGxx]

Not surprised really as the other Co-Founder - Sampo Karjalainen left back in Jan 2013.

[Aiden]

another one bites the dust, bye i guess but u did your bit years ago

[MKR&*42]

Nooo I knew he was still there it's a shame he's gone.

Don't think there's anyone from the very beginning left anymore.

Apparatus = Sampo Karjalainen.

Retiisi & Painimies (designers) are the only 'old' staff left. I guess this is because Sulake is now in the hands of Elisa?

Well his LinkedIn says he left ages ago then.

We said this 5-10 years ago

[Aaron]

Strange to see him leave.. but probably got out while it was worth his while. :P

[CrazyColaist]

well 5-10 years ago sulake was still a company

[October]

Apparatus = Sampo Karjalainen.

Retiisi & Painimies (designers) are the only 'old' staff left. I guess this is because Sulake is now in the hands of Elisa?
Johno is still pretty old, was a Hobba back in 03/4.

[Abdicators]

..It still is a company.

[Coryza]

Johno is still pretty old, was a Hobba back in 03/4.

Retiisi / Painimies are staff since 2000/2001. Johno is staff since 2004.

[Catchy]

I always think it's so weird, having people stalk your career movements online

[CrazyColaist]

..It still is a company.


Sulake is just a subsidiary of a company (Elisa)
3 years ago it was not
so something is obviously going wrong.
& if you still moan go get a dictionary and search the word subsidiary.

& +1 to catchy.

Why do you guys immediately go to 'moan'? Despite Elisa now being Sulake's parent, it is still a company. What you originally said was wrong.

[GommeInc]

They're just trimming the fat from the company, it happens a lot with mergers and take overs.

[CrazyColaist]

Yeah but you guys dont get it. sulake was sulake it was on there own. and it was controlled by themselves.
these days there part of a tree, just another company nothing special.

You are the one who isn't getting it :P

[CrazyColaist]

but people saying sulake hasnt changed over past 5-10 years. well they have, and if you cant see that then you are very closed minded.

I can't find anyone who has said that in this thread. Of course Sulake has changed over the past X amount of years but Sulake is still a company. Even if it was bought by another company.

yeah sulake is just a subsidiary of a company its not really a company though. Elisa is a company. its like Google & Motorola mobility & sulake dont control themselves no more. someone bigger does.

Well yes they will get inputs from the management. But they have their own management and CEO.
