I'm not going against you or anything but I think the person/company who donated the money must of picked the charity for a reason, they may not of wanted to give it to starving children, its their money.

There is a lot of charities and they aren't all for starving children and you can't always donate to every single one of them. If you really want to help them, then donate some of your own money to the charity you think that needs help! :P

It's very naive to think a multi-billion dollar company such as Sulake would risk their entire reputation on falsely claiming to of donated to charity ($10k is very little to them I think it's safe to assume). I'm sure a charity like World Horse Welfare would be well aware if large websites were claiming to of gave them donations and I've no doubt this would be swiftly followed by letters to lawyers.

Who's to say Bill Gates is giving his money away? You haven't seen him spending his money in Africa? He would be found out and his reputation would be ruined if that was the case and it's no different here.

It was curiosity, I wasn't accusing Habbo/Sulake of not donating. Usually there is a news article written by the receiving charity.

For what it's worth, Habbo/Sulake were premature releasing the minimail detailing their donation, considering World Horse Welfare don't know about it yet.

It's a nice thing they are doing. I would have thought that they would do it more often with the amount of money they make though.

The money has now been donated!

That's great news! The exchange rate brings the sum down a bit but it's still a large amount to give.
