One thing i still dont understand is why cant ppl innovate with new word game concepts …..

Scrabulous was a good fun card board game and gels well on a social platform

But The concept is old and boring now …

Check this new word game, totally new concept and totally Rocks …its called Navajo

Careful though its very addictive

[...] But even if 10 percent were paid downloads, though, and assuming an average price of 4.99, that would be a $5 million weekend. Not a bad start. And it could have been more than that. Seven of the top ten paid apps, including Super Monkey Ball, Cro-Mag Rally, Tetris, and Band, are $9.99. (Coming in at No. 12 is another $9.99 game, Electronic Arts’ official Scrabble, which is also coming to Facebook). [...]

Hasbro and Mattel have a policy of not accepting product variation ideas from the public. Shame on them for not listening to their own customers who may have innovative ideas that can only help their overall brand image, product offering, and customer satisfaction. Scrabulous listens to their users and provides intelligent feedback regardless of the outcome.

Way to go Hasbro/Mattel, isolating your own customers is a great way to build loyalty. Fucking idiots.

I can’t believe its taken them this long to make it though. The owners and developers of the brand should’ve realised years ago that this was where everything was heading. Whatever happens now is their own fault for sleeping on the job and only catching up to the modern world
now.

@45 Yes, from what I’ve heard. You totally missed that the statement was slightly tongue in cheek.

The fact is that there is one Scrabble box in every 3 American homes. Judging from the people I’ve asked about how often they play the Scrabble board game, there are a lot of boxes gathering dust. Players of online games expect a different experience from a box so it makes sense to change the rules to accept and take advantage of the changing realities of society and technology.

@10, Christopher Herot.
They cannot “copyright” a game, but they can “patent” a game or idea. And Hasbro had paid for patent.

Perhaps they should enter a co-licensing deal with scrabulous, Ea, and Real networks instead
Offer the changes that scrabul made as a Non infridgement as an extra mode
and add real arcade ads along with ads for ea games
Everyone wins
Scrabul still gets payed albeit they would have to pay royalty charges but in return they would get payment for developing the game
Ea would get payment from the licensing deal plus some free adspace
Real would get the same as EA
Hasbro would get royalties and not have to loose people

@44

From what you’ve heard?

And anyone else can say they have heard otherwise. Posting unsubstantiated, baseless claims really doesn’t do much for your argument.

sarah: You don’t know what you’re talking about. As Marcus said, stop complaining that Scrabulous isn’t Scrabble. Of course it’s not Scrabble, it’s Scrabulous! It’s like complaining that oranges suck because they aren’t apples. If you want an apple, eat an apple and keep quiet.

Scrabulous has the features that its users want. The developers are very responsive to feature requests and reply back personally to user comments.

From what I’ve heard, there are a lot of Scrabble boxes gathering dust in closets. People won’t go back to Scrabble because Scrabulous is a better game. Scrabble needs a rule update to survive.
