#DOAG . Death of a Game is a series dedicated to uncovering the mysteries surrounding the death of a game or company. nerdSlayer defines the term "death" in the context of the show as either... 1. Literally dead. 2. Had a mass exodus of players and never recovered (expectations etc). 3. The company ceased to exist. We follow a timeline of events, to uncover clues concerning why a game or company doesn't do well, and attempt to put it all together at the end for a deduction explaining how or why the game failed based on the evidence gathered.
Rules:
1: No discrimination or hate speech.
2: No affiliation links that do not belong to nerdSlayer.
3: No political/religious talk or debate .
4: Any points you make have to be substantiated either in explaining your opinion or when stating facts you need to back these up with reliable sources.
5: Do not argue moderation decisions in public, if you have an issue PM the mods.
6: We don't allow self promotion, giveaways or anything of similar nature from community members on this discord without nerdSlayer's permission.
7: Wherever possible if you initiate a discussion try to do so in an appropriate channel for it. For example game news could go in ⁠game-table a story on the latest EVE heist however would belong in ⁠mmo-booth or the latest GPU shortage can go in ⁠tech-wizards
8: Spoilers have to be marked at all times as a spoiler by using /spoiler or || before and after the message. Beside this outside of the spoiler you should make clear ahead of it what the spoiler is about, like the latest chapter in a video game or something.
9: Please do not @ mention any of the staff or in general abuse @ mentions. People will respond on their own accord when needed and when they desire to do so. (Exception for moderators if their presence is needed for enforcement)

Pools closed

Pools Closed is the largest cultural impact Habbo Hotel ever made, but to someone who actually played the game, it's a 12 second mention in a half hour long video, wow

@sup1602

Pool's closed, please form into the traditional shuriken formation.

@DeafCope

this game taught me what is; scam, stranger danger, pyramid schemes, cults

@todamusikaqui

"pretending to be older to hang out with adults" which were just also kids pretending to be adults 😂😂

@twelch12

Scamming people out of Furni using other people's unlocked "casino" rooms made me the man I am today.

the fact Habbo ran so well on browsers back in the 2000s is still wild to me

@Larry

Strange Channel 4 attacked Habbo Hotel like that, considering they aired an adult animated comedy series heavily based on it a few years before, Empire Sq.

As a finnish person, l find it funny that english speaking persons pronounce finnish names like they would be far eastern-type names. Sulake -> Suleik, Sampo->Sempo

@mrhygiene

It's over? Well, bobba

I remember when i finally managed to trade myself into having a very nice house and a lot of furniture, from 0$ spent in game after a very nice dude gave me a few throwaway furniture he didn't want. Only to lose it all after giving my pw to a friend (we were in elementary school) who then proceeded to steal everything. I still think about it to this day, yassin.

God, Habbo was HUGE in my rural australian primary school in the 2005-2006 era. I even won a writing contest Habbo hosted when I was 12, and got exclusive in game items as a reward! Which I then traded for coins because I was a child who could not buy my own in game currency and thought owning a club sofa would be WAY more cool than the rare exclusive event item I won......

@Mito383

Habbo Hotel was basically my 14 year old introverted escape from reality.

@InVinoVeratas

I remeber this as a kid. I wanted to join the mafia, and this honestly makes me blush with embarrassment remembering this.

@TonyTheTiger94

Man, the memories i had with Habbo is unreal. The virtual sex was wild.

This game taught me how to code when I was a kid. I wanted so desperately to have furni but didn't have the means I just started to program a server in apache to build a clone. I kinda failed but it was am amazing experience.

@RQS321

Its crazy just what Habbo Hotel turned people into.. One of the most bizarre blotches in my history is playing this game and ending up banned. I don't ever get banned in games normally. I'm that guy who plays by the rules and is a total stick in the mud..

I am a Finnish kid around your age. I think my generation grew up hanging out in Habbo, it and Runescape were the only things ppl played. I haven't spared a thought for it in years but seeing those familiar graphics, furniture and dances brings back so many memories
