After legal threats from Hasbro, the scrabulous facebook app is no more.
Scrabulous listed more than 600,000 daily active users on Facebook as of Wednesday. It is one of the 10 most used applications on the website. People can also play the game at www.scrabulous.com.
…Although there are authorized Scrabble games online, Scrabulous has gained popularity because it’s free, fun to play with friends and easy to access on Facebook.
The game was developed by brothers Rajat and Jayant Agarwalla of Kolkata, India. The Agarwallas say on the website that they created it after being unable to find an online version of Scrabble they liked.
…
Hasbro is urging Scrabulous fans to switch to legal Scrabble websites.
The game is ancient. Copyright should not last this long.
