 Send to email | Scrabulous Triumphantly Returns As Wordscraper [Scrabulous] in Scrabulous Facebook Hasbro Lawsuit News why Wordscraper |  By Mike Fahey
el 31-Jul-2008 |  Facebook word game fans rejoice! Scrabulous, pulled from Facebook only two days ago due to a lawsuit from Scrabble creators Hasbro, is now back up in the form of Wordscraper. The makers of Scrabulous have given the game some graphics and mechanics tweaking to help differentiate it from the Hasbro original. This is when we get to see if Hasbro's lawsuit had any real merits. Will people stick with the reincarnated Scrabulous, or will they hop on over to Hasbro's official Scrabble Facebook application, currently being enjoyed by over 50,000 players?
The real question here is ?Why the hell are so many people wasting their entire day playing games on a social networking site?? How is anything getting done, anywhere?
