The Habbo netherlands sulake office closes it's doors, and the finnish headquarters will take over the work of the staff who are situated at the Habbo.nl hotel.
Quote:
Vincent Beerends , country manager for Habbo Netherlands has said: The Dutch website and community for Dutch players will simply remain available, but all the work of the Dutch team will by the Finnish headquarters taken over." The former joint venture between TMG and the Finnish parent company Sulake has also came to an end.
Sulake, which was recently acquired by the Finnish telecom operator Elisa, put on a great centralization by the various Habbo offices abroad.
"The strategy of the foreign Sulake Habbo offices to close last year has already deployed," explains Beerends. "The Dutch office was the last local office that was still running. The intention is that all work for Habbo will come from the finnish office.
About the role that TMG has played in this step can Beerends not lose too much: "TMG has always been a minority interest in the joint venture with Sulake. It is not difficult to imagine that Sulake has the final say in such a decision. "
TMG itself declined to comment on the sale of the shares. Spokesman Hans Elekan "TMG had a minority interest and in that context, it is not subject to TMG to the outside world."
