Game Over

It's official. Adios Scrabulous.

"Scrabulous, the popular Scrabble-based game on Facebook, has been taken down from the US version of the social networking site.

The makers of Scrabulous said today that they had agreed to a request from Hasbro, the toymaker which owns the rights to the board game in the US, to remove their application from Facebook.

The decision ends a long-running dispute about Scrabulous, which Hasbro claims infringes on its own trademark, and will mean that any US-based Facebook user will no longer have access to the game. About 450,000 people use the application every day worldwide."
