    Plus I also believe there was something legal about it? Like underage gambling or something? Idek.
    Unfortunately Sulake probably don't have a lot of choice on this matter due to the whole gambling laws in specific countries. So they probably had to do it for that more than anything else. It was already banned in certain foreign hotels before this happened I believe. But yeah, you have to be a certain age to gamble and Habbo isn't aimed at those people and it's very hard to moderate.

    I think the group of people who signed up till 2009 have left. Sulake have made "improvements" to the site which has damaged it. I still believe V9 was the best update and it has slowly gone downhill since.

    I think it's mainly due to what's available to youngsters nowadays - when I was a preteen there wasn't really Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube or anything, people did play games for fun. Less young people play games on the Internet - but I reckon proportionally (out of teenagers playing games online) habbo has probably stayed fairly similar throughout its time.

    That was under Sulake's control. They had prior knowledge of the investigation and failed to react within an appropriate or timely manner. It wasn't until the investigation was published that they came under fire.

    So, with the announcement of the Habbo app for Android, I am sure numbers will spike for a few months if proper steps are taken by Sulake to promote the app within the play store.

    I will watch intently in the next coming weeks for user numbers.

    Would anyone be interested in user averages?

    I have a feeling removing casinos wasn't in Sulake's control at all.

    Yet Macklebee insists "Habbo has moved on leaps and bounds". The game has barely moved in 10 years.
