1. Sure
2. Safe side of what? Habbo isn't going to go knocking on your door and take you to court for playing retros.

4. Don't you know how much money Sulake has? They can keep it up for years, especially with their other games or whatever the they are.
Why, when something happens that attracts a lot of attention to the section (/f282 and co.), do everyone
make crazy assumptions and open threads titled "The end for Habbo?",
"What happens when they close?", "How long have they left?"?
More so, in fact, in this particular situation. Sulake have potentially taken out the 'cause' of half of retros (regardless as to whether this brings them for traffic) and everyone presumes that they're closer to the end.
Shoot me in the face.

Why would Habbo stop? I know they are
losing players but it's a big company worldwide who are still making
profit (I hope for them). So actually, this is a silly question.

This wasn't directly aimed at this thread - I was talking about these

The thing is, if Habbo disbands Habbo
Retros' won't carry on, many hotels could last a few months. Most hotel
would be the same, as many wouldn't have the ability to keep users by
adaption of their hotel. They need Habbo, it shall no disband.

Their major shareholder, Elisa, has plenty of money to throw at the
retro industry whilst they're still thriving - why would they wait until
Habbo closed to take action? You've seen what they've done already -
and we know they aren't done just yet...@3.

With any luck, they'll have moved on by then. I can see them launching a
new, more appealing (to the younger generation) game in the near
future.1-5years. people in younger generation wont play this game.
I
wouldn't be so sure about that. They've been involved in, and tried to
launch themselves, a few other MMOCCs. Habbo 2 is probably the most
infamous.
(more pics).
I am not sure Sulake would want to e-enter the market if habbo fell. It doesn't really make sense to dump their huge database etc anyway.

I'm not sure we ever had any confirmation that 'Habbo2' was ever a real project.
I
always thought Tom was telling the truth... I guess it *could* be fake
but it's a lot of effort to go through (not just the scenes themselves
but the low quality QuickTime border)...
I always quite liked it outside of the avatars.

It's rather strange that they didn't really alter the toolbar, though.. I always thought Tom was telling the truth... I guess it *could* be fake but it's a lot of effort to go through (not just the scenes themselves but the low quality QuickTime border)...

1. He's right.1. Sure

2. Safe side of getting involved with it somehow. Even though they haven't really committed any crimes, better safe then sorry.
3. They won't succeed, and they probably won't try to shut down any retros after it closes because it's a pointless cause and a waste of money.
4. Regardless of how much money Sulake has, they're not going to spend it on users who don't return the favor. They can keep it up for years, but if they're not making profit, they're going to be losing money. Their other games have never and will never generate enough revenue to keep it open. They can't keep every hotel open either if they decide to do that, so they'll be making a LOT less revenue, and they'll be losing money, users, and wasting their time. They may have a lot of money, but they don't print it.

I can recall someone proving that Habbo 2 was a fake created by someone
to spark something up, but it failed. I can't find the article that said
that, but I'm pretty sure it was a fraud. On top of that, I'm also
pretty sure if they made Habbo to look like that. Nobody would play it,
the people look like they walked through a meat grinder.I wouldn't be so sure about that. They've been involved in, and tried to launch themselves, a few other MMOCCs. Habbo 2 is probably the most infamous.
Besides, the beauty of Habbo was always it's simplicity of 2 Dimensional Animations that had a 3 Dimensional look about them based on the shading of the images.
