Facebook to Pull Scrabulous
In an unwelcome setback for users of the popular social networking site, Facebook, Mattel has requested that it remove the game Scrabulous from its list of optional mini-applications.
Now I have to say at the outset that I do not blame Mattel for requesting it’s removal. The game is clearly an infringement of the Scrabble copyright and with all the other big companies getting in on the Facebook market, there is no good reason why Mattel should be unfairly disadvantaged here… not that I think they’ve even tried to put applications up… hint hint.
What I’m really worried about now is that they’ll pull down ATTACK!, a Facebook add-on version of the popular game Risk. I think this may also be owned by Mattel. If that goes, I’ll have to start doing my work again. No more breaks for online Risk, erm, ’scuse me, ATTACK!
