another thing that makes hasbro look stupid is that their iPhone app crashed often, and now can't launch at all. Their's gonna be a helluva pissed post in the App Shop in a matter of minutes.

@Cl Attr -- is there a price per month or per year that you think DOES make sense for a brand like Hasbro to charge the FB crowd for their self-made app? I think that number exists, and I think that's the whole point of watching this space for the last 12 months ...
- Marko Bon
... if not the "whole point," at least a particularly crucial one ;)

I wonder how Literati on Yahoo Games continues on unchallenged by Hasbro...

Facebook didn't kill scrabulous. The owners pulled it.

Re: "Literati" Not familiar with that game but I strongly suspect Hasbro came down hard on Scrabulous because of its name - SCRABulous (and possibly the board design, though I'm not sure what its legal status is)... Those folks have a trademark to defend, after all. (Crappy way to handle the whole affair, tho).

Why is everyone assuming Hasbro didn't try and buy it just because it didn't happen?If the Scrabulous creators were asking for a billion dollars for a buyout and wouldn't budget, would it still be unreasonable for Hasbro to decline to buy it and instead sue?
