Habbo Hotel will not close down until Sulake Ltd begin to lose profits.
Last year (2004) they had a £12 million turn over from what I remember. In 2005, with the addition of battle ball, I'd expect it to be nearly double that, if they reveal.
What happens when they run out of games like Battle Ball. Just like the lido and the rooftop battle ball will get old.Quote:

Now we're in 2006, I'm sure we can look forward to some amazing features coming our way, that will make THEM an amazing amount of money.
If you think about the amount of people paying £2.50 per month for HC, that will easily make them at least £3 million a year.
Then they raise the prices up ridiculously :P Im not joking sadly...
or they could sell special badges 50 credits for a guitar badge e.t.c but then everyone would have them so they wouldnt be worth anything but then people would buy them and sulake would get more profit, then no-one would buy them anymore becuase they got old then sulake brought something else riduculous out, and then that gets old e.t.c e.t.c and the whole thing never ends....

Think about all the things they could do but haven't yet.Quote:

If they wanted, they could easily make around £500,000 just by putting the Thrones in the catalouge. If they started to sell badges like Always Salon for 50 credits each, per month, tones would complain, but they'd still make MASSIVE amounts from it.
If they put badges in the cat. They would have nothing to lose.. They can just make some badges up and sell them.. They would make amazing profits..Quote:

Thanks, Charlotte
P.S Thanks Level for the Rep
And then younger people will join, therefore for money if they buy credits.
True. If little kids keep joining on, and they raise the prices of credits that could make amazing profits.Quote:

Think about it, before V7, they'd been going 4 years with only 10 rares, I believe it was?
Raise Credit Prices? - Wouldn't be a wise move for Sulake. 10p per credit is quiet enough to make them big bucks.
Thats true but think about how many rares were released in the past 2 months. Thats alot. And if they keep that up they will run out easilyQuote:

Then they pick on supers and/or start re-releasing!
All they need is to say Dave is back in the Hotel, we'll be releasing all rares for an hour. 60 hours of rares, another £600,000. :)
Yea they have been highly advertising. I've seen a lot of 10-11 year olds on the hotel. Seems things are working for them.Quote:

Thanks, Charlotte
Think back to you being that age. If you saw that advert on MSN, TV or on your favourite Pokemon website, you'd think "Wow! Cooool!" and go to it, and, within minutes, knick the phone and buy 10 credits!Quote:

Sulake make Millions a week. This is highly unlikely.
Sulake go out of business? Oh, please..
As long as there are kids with nothing better to do, they'll never go out of business.
Habbos not closing any time soon unless they go bankrupt but they make millions a year so i doubt that
Yeh, i seriously doubt that they will close....
New owners is likely.
Why would sulake close down whilst they are making millions in profit each year?
And why would they invest in advertisement like MSN if they are just wasting there money?
well in my opinion if you are still playing habbo in 2010 then you are just sad....
I highly doubt it is millions a week.Quote:

£2 million X 52 = £104 million.
I doubt there profit is THAT high.
well..... the avarage ammount of credits bought per week is 700,000 x 10p
£70,000 a week sounds about right.Quote:

that would make sulake
If Every Habbo Bought 1 Credit - - 855.6
So If Every Habbo Bought 15 Credits - - 12834
And If Every Habbo Bought 35 Creds - - 29946
Sulake is booming with money.
Tes sulake made 12 mill and they gonna shut down? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA I would like to take over.
Who really cares if it does shut then? Most current players will be adults and will hopefully not be going on Habbo anyway.
pasc i'Ve seen 21 year old on this hotel and are onit for hours [sad!]
They can't go down because people have spent money on habbo, and that means they have to give the money back.
read the terms before evtering the hotelQuote:
