    They're a business. An ever-growing business, so they need to come up with some more money making schemes to keep Habbo going and keep Habbo growing.

    Yeah, it's sorta right, I can't believe people would actually buy pixelled furni for real money, it's true they're abit clever. And they have to make money I guess, so yeah.

    Yep of course they are. They're making it more fun for us (the "Customers") whilst doing it but all they really want is more and more money which they are getting. I wonder when/if Habbo will eventually close...

    To be honest, yes. Sulake and Habbo are both money grabbers. They seldomly reply with the Habbo Help Tool requests with speed. It usually takes them more than one month or perhaps a year for a reply.

    They constantly come up with new ideas to attract customers and new customers to join Habbo Hotel and spend money on the pixelated furnis. For example, version 9 layouts. Desire of using MORE furni in the v9 layout is higher than using v8 layout since the furnis are WAY smaller in v9, thus, it is more probably for the users to purchase furnis from the catalogue.

    They also attempt habbo users to become Habbo Club members by having Habbo Club ads around the hotel.

    To sum up what I said, Habbo Hotel and Sulake are money grabbers. But to some extent, they actually do care about the customers. For example, we can see them actually hiring moderators to answer questions or problems that users encounter.

    Habbo are a business therefore need to make money with out money they wouldn't be able to pay staff and for the servers so with out our money habbo wouldn't be able to run like every other business ... u could say Mcdonalds are a money grabbing company they aint providing us food for free the same with cokemusic their credits are free because they have other products like cocacola
    I’ll be a story in your head, but that’s okay, because we’re all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh? Because it was, you know. It was the best. A daft old man who stole a magic box and ran away. Did I ever tell you that I stole it? Well, I borrowed it. I always meant to take it back. Oh, that box, Amy, you’ll dream about that box. It’ll never leave you. Big and little at the same time. Brand-new and ancient and the bluest blue ever. And the times we had, eh? Would had…Never had. In your dreams, they’ll still be there. The Doctor and Amy Pond and the days that never came.

    i dont find that bad at all, i did think it was bad though when habbo started advertising a certain instant messanger that were not allowed to say on the forum, cos theyre stopping us from saying these 3 letters so that we're safer and then they go and advertise it on the site at this point i was convince they were just bothered about the money and not the members.

    Businesses are set up to make profit, haboo was not set up for our enjoyment.

    The only problem I see with their business plan is that their target audience is teenagers. Teenagers are not the richest people in thee country.
    Then again, I doubt habbo could convince 12,000 adults to come to a certain chatroom every night
    I don't do signatures. I do autographs
