    Is it just me or is Habbo becoming more focused on making money.
    What's up with the new " Subscription " Where you have to enter you're cc - Credit card
    number to get pts - points. I'll never enter my cc for Habbo. That's stupid. Like honestly, that is the most dumbest thing Habbo has ever done, in my opinion. It's out of control.

    How you feel about this?

    Isn't that the main aim in a business? I admit they do not give a **** about the players anymore but I guess we have to accept that or stop playing

    how is requiring to enter your credit card details 'dumb' and 'out of control'?

    lol?!

    The aim of any business is to make money...
    tbh your post is more 'out of control' than the "problems" that you have outlined!

    You've always been able to enter your card number for credits - 2 years ago they did this anyway, what's changed??

    This isn't a new thing at all. The prime focus has been and always will be to make money. If they don't make money, they can't continue to provide their service. I don't really understand how offering users exclusive items with their subscription is dumb. Pretty clever, actually.

    You've always had to pay for extra perks (habbo club/VIP/CREDITS/furniture/etc) and this is no different.

    pretty sure your sig is far too big

    They've always wanted money, infact the pre-Habbo thing was purely for money. It's just now profits are at a high they don't need to give a **** about users anymore. I don't see the problem with the CC details, I doubt they'd be ******ed like Sony and not securely store them (by that I mean encryption).

    Go look, smartie pants, since you want to try and say " How this... " it asks for you're cc.

    There have been subscriptions in the past where you could enter your credit card details. For example, the PayDayPlus scheme back on the UK hotel. It's optional and if you don't want to take part, then you don't need to . I won't be .

    Not online very often

    right... so once again I will ask the question; how is this 'dumb' and 'out of control'?
