The fact that the other version is not getting good comments and ratings proves that consumers are dissatisfied. If scrabulous was scrapped out because of its name, that’s really going way over board. Hasbro could have just made settlement or something with the makers of Scrabulous. Yeah, they’re simply protecting their rights, but they have to admit, online scrabble has never made it this big until Scrabulous came out.

Its quite amusing. Scrabble is a such a basic game. Do they hold rights to scrabble in all languages? The Aliens are gonna be pissed

Thanks for this information and i didn’t realize that scrabble can be played in facebook. I am currently signing in at friendster.com and might transfer to facebook due to the lack of user interactions in friendster.com

People should observe copyrights now since every company or individual spent millions and most specially time for every program they make. I am a computer engineering student and i know how it feels like making a game like that. It will take days of no sleep and just facing on a computer.

EA have the copyrights so we should give it to them. Give them recognition. I am trying to use open source because it is free and you can modify it for yourself if allowed by the agreement.

Thank you
Charles
