Scrabulous Drama Finally Comes to a Close

This has been the year of Scrabulous. In January of this year, Facebook received a letter from the Hasbro and Mattel lawyers asking them to shut down the Scrabulous application. Since then, there has been numerous updates including Scrabulous being forced to ultimately change their application name from “Scrabulous” to Wordscraper. Today, Reuters is reporting that Hasbro has officially withdrawn their lawsuit against RJ Softwares, the company behind Wordscraper and the original Scrabulous.

So why did Hasbro withdraw the suite? Ultimately they got what they were coming for and now the company has a successful application running on Facebook which is larger than Wordscraper as of Novermber 3rd.
