Habbo is developed and published by Sulake, a Finnish corporation specializing in social entertainment. The game stems back to 1999, where Habbo began as a virtual chat room for a Finnish band, evolving quickly into a Hotel-themed game in 2000. They were approached by entrepreneurs to create it into a fully international business, launching its beta in 2001. It was first released in England, and then Switzerland, slowly becoming available in four languages in over 150 different countries. The game was highly successful in most places, closing only in China and Scandanavia, and drew the attention of Anonymous, an internet-based group that raided Habbo endlessly in 2006, accusing Habbo mods of racism. Later, in 2012, media attention was brought to Habbo due to its brimming popularity and relatively un-moderated chat rooms. Parents came to realize that Habbo was filled with player-generated content that was too mature for its target age group, and demanded more moderation due to an excess of sexually explicit behavior between and towards under-aged teens. The game was globally muted in response to this on June 12, 2012, when the developers focused on making it a safer environment, adding chat filters and more s to the game, unmuting it on July 6, 2012. The game was released for iOS in 2014 and Android in 2015, allowing players access to Habbo while on the go.
