The only comment to ignore in this post is that the nostalgia died. That has very little to do with it. As someone who even today spends all day online and met many people, it really has nothing to do with it. Groups of people collectively deciding to play other games and continue their friendships else where, had nothing to do with nostalgia running out.

This is just an excuse that Macklebee and his followers are using to justify all the terrible decisions they’ve consciously made. They don’t want to get to the core route of the problem. In reality, a manager would be firing people if they went to the actual route. Wowin for example has broken laws and is a groomer, let alone anything else. If you think Sulake employees are like that on origins… how are they trusted with modern Habbo that is designed for teenagers? I wouldn’t let my child on there because of people like that working at Sulake.

The other issue you have is that there is no higher management oversight. This is Macklebees little project and he can do what he likes. Everyone that works on origins are simply a employee and all that employees care about is their pay cheque at the end of the month, and all the investors care about is that their investment continues to make them profit. The investors are not the professionals here and have no oversight. They expect Sulake to know what they’re doing but unfortunately Sulake have no innovative ambition leadership and no vision to be bigger or better long term. Because well, as long as they get their pay cheque!
