I heard Sulake has their best quarter so far?

Thats what Sulake are saying...

'Good news Sulake's Habbo Hotel Reports Strong Growth in First Quarter of 2010 http://fb.me/ynIbsIiV '

Taken from Shenk's website (which I'm not allowed to opening post here). Anyone agree/disagree?



Yeah this is a rumour so I assume this is the right section for 'news & rumours'

This guy is an idiot. Sulake are still profitable and will be for several years so they won't close it down. Anyone who believes that news story is simple a fool.

I will be one of the people who will commit suicide. Also, I have spent over £1,000 on Habbo UK alone. And if it gets shut down I want a refund.

I love it when I see posts such as yours as I just laugh. Spend £100,000 on Habbo if you want and legally they don't have to give you a penny back. So what if the T&C is long? It outlines all the terms and conditions and if you don't agree to them, dont read it. When you registered, you also agreed to allow them to change the T&C at any time and by still playing, it means you agreed to the new T&C.

Habbo have brought about their own downfall by changing so much, and not ensuring battleball and snowstorm work. Sometimes it feels that company is run by a bunch of idiots the way they change so much without ensuring some of the main features work.

The UK is their biggest hotel and they will not delete it.
What the merge allows them to do is retain most of the users while reducing costs. People won't leave because of the merge (well most of them won't anyway) as they will still have their account and furni.

Saurav hit the nail on the head. Shenk's in the wrong ballpark.

Sorry I meant in the one which are merging. I knew it might confuse some

And what makes me laugh even more is that the person who wrote that article didn't upload the screenshot of the email - simply because its fake / doesn't exist. If he makes a mistake in the edit, and if people will find it, they will stop believing instantly. Its some kid who wants attention.

They should introduce another payment method, they have credits and pixels, they should have another, which you can't trade and you can only use to get certain furni and rares that other people can't.

Wouldn't mind that tbh. Not that I buy credits anyway Maybe just make old seasonals, norms and hc available for credits and new seasonals, rares and vip for the new currency?

I'm sure UK is probably one of the biggest grossing hotels.

http://www.sulake.com/press/releases...r_of_2010.html

today announced its best quarterly financial results in the company’s history. Between January and March 2010, Sulake’s revenue increased more than 25 percent compared with the same period last year, resulting in sales of $20 million (€14.7 million). The strong revenue growth, combined with operating model improvements and cost savings in the final quarter of 2009, has also led to a significant increase in the company’s profits. Sulake’s EBITDA in Q1/10 totaled $3 million (€2.3 million, 15 percent of revenue).

The merge is designed to streamline the Habbo project and increase that revenue. Hotel deletion would only happen in the most dire of circumstances and on that basis of the above article, they are not in the most dire of circumstances. If they deleted the UK Hotel now this would have a negative impact on this financial progress and they would be fools to do so. This is almost certainly not happening.

mm i think just by simply playing you have an implied agreement with the t&cs, whether or not you have read them.

anyways, this guy has a point. i can't say i'd move to US/CA habbo if it closed though, it would just be the end of habbo-related things for me... i would have quit one day. and to those stupid enough to even consider suicide over this... just wow. must be a whole new level of sad. either that or your life is extremely boring.

It's called a joke about suicide...

You agreed to let them change the t+c at any time.

Yeah true.

lol @ the £1,000 and the suicide

Thank you I will be here all week!

LOL! Not 100,000 because that would be sad, 1,000. . And true.
