Habbo closing? What do you think?

[Apox]

This is an utterly pointless thread. It's like suggesting Disney Worlds going to shut down. The same product will be used for years and years to come, and they'll keep producing new products to build on top of this legacy piece of software. (Not legendary, google it if you don't understand what it means).

Could you imagine the finical implications of closing down! It's not like a normal company where you buy something and then it's yours. Your product is on their servers, they're not going anywhere for a long, long time, till there is no one left. Unless the T&Cs say otherwise, or bankruptcy, either way!

Habbos of course going to close, Even if they make a billion pound their eventully going to sell up, eithier its because they've grown bored, Sulake get sued for making us give them money for nothing, or their hacked deleting the systems, its sure to close later in life, but I won't care because I will be about 25, But I can tell you one thing, I will log in if its around in 20 years to see what its like theirs no doubt about it, And thread owner, your very annoying for the way you type and all your replys, thet me guess you try to be L337 in habbo wearing crappy shorts and jumper calling random habbos newbies or ugly, Your pathetic.

Money for nothing?

Your the ones buying it, it's not sulakes fault and you can always sell the furni when you leave.

If sulake ever do realise it's near the end and they try everything they can do, they will sell up and another company with newer ideas will take control and maybe revive it?, I can see it being renamed when Sulake do sell.

Just because Habbo is at a user level dip doesnt mean it can bring itself up. Its like pokemon. It will be passed down to a new generation who will love enjoy and cherish it. Personally I dont like the thought of leaving, obviously I will, but ive made some good friends.

As said before, it will be sold by Sulake, rather than closing it.

If it ever were to close, I'd hope that Sulake would keep Habbo running at minimal expense, just not update it. Basically abandon it but pay a small fee every year to keep it online until the numbers online dwindle to under a thousand.

But, as mentioned, I expect the Habbo franchise to be sold off sooner or later. I can't see the logic in closing it.

If you was earning the ammount of money habbo was bringing in a year, would you close it?

Ya i agree. Probally rumors. +I Dont think habbo would but bans to 2018 if they knew they was going to close. Maybe i dont know. None of us do. +Like said, they make to much profit. In 2005 they made 65m euro profit.

Habbo will NEVER close. It is constantly expanding and thus profit is greatly exceeding costs.
Why would a business close if their profit was steadily and safely increasing?

You are paying for the time required to create the virtual products and the time and revenue dedicated to service.
Also, I highly doubt Habbo could be hacked and the hacker would be sued to extautionate value.

Can I just say from now until the end 0f 08 they are planning to open like 6 more hotels.

So why would they close?

PLUS they would have a company back up plan :eusa_whis

So stop being so annyoing it wont close.. :eusa_wall

Don't think it's true, Habbo's still going strong.
And I agree with what Kayne said, they'd sell, not close.
