Facebook Kills Scrabulous, Makes Hasbro Look Stupid - http://mashable.com/2008...
:-( - Corie
Lame move, Hasbro. :( - Nathaniel Payne
yeah, this sucks... that was the only app I really liked and used - Shawn Duffy from twhirl
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. - Marko Bon
awesome... I lose more females because I refuse to play. ha ha ha - Noah David Simon
:( I loved that game, now no need to sign onto FB. - clarke thomas
@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 ;) - Marko Bon
I wonder how Literati on Yahoo Games continues on unchallenged by Hasbro... - C. K. Sample III from twhirl
time to play chess... - Noah David Simon
Facebook didn't kill scrabulous. The owners pulled it. - Jonathan Beckett
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). - Jules
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? - Kyle Johnson
