"I was so close to winning a Scrabble game. WHY EA? WHY?" shouted a friend of mine on Facebook.
In the last few days, my Facebook status updates have been flooded with users discovering that the "Scrabulous" application has finally been put to rest.
"Scrabulous" was a user-made version of the popular board game "Scrabble" that came under legal fire once Hasbro and Electronic Arts, working on their own version of Facebook "Scrabble," discovered its popularity.
I'm not sure how many users have decided to make the switch to the official version or whether they'll just drop Facebook "Scrabble" altogether, but recent status updates coming through my Facebook page aren't encouraging.
"I'm amazed at how much the scrabble interface sucks compared to Scrabulous," said another friend.
The current version of EA's "Scrabble" is available in beta and limited to players in the United States and Canada. Scrabulous allowed for worldwide play.
Are you a Facebook "Scrabble" player? Will you add the new, official application?
