I thought it was for spite, until i read the article

You know, all those web services like MTV Movies that won't display outside of America, so someone made something that was the exact opposite

EA just has their hands in everything now dont they....

And not that I use Facebook or would even play the game there, but sometimes the whole idoicy of all this nonesense just gets pathetic and rediculous. Im talking about the 'breach' that is keeping this out of US and Canada.

So the crappy, buggy Scrabble app is only available to non-Americans. Yep, sounds like karma to me too. :)

Haha Victory is mine!!!

Finally something outside the U.S and Canada, too bad is scrabble (I prefer monopoly) and too bad is in facebook.


Well you aren’t missing much.So far is impossible to Join a game since they are gone too fast.

After 5 minutes:

Now I'm playing a match but I don't know if its is still my turn since the other player isn't doing anything and I’m allowed to place words but not to play them

Nevermind it was the other player turn and She/he/it is taking ages. It seems that person is looking for hard words on the online dictionary so I guess everyone cheats in this game.

For a game that’s not playable in the U.S or Canada it doesn't feel like it since the only language available is English.

Well the other player is still in reference.com so it might take a while.

Seriously the use of dictionaries makes this game more about luck than skill.

Well it sucks,there is no time limit so you can just leave the other player hanging and you can create as many matches as you please so it turns into a patience game.

(Well I'm trying to post my first impressions also I have to wait for the other player to put a word and that happens every 10 minutes.)

It's proably like Scrabulous, where you are expected to play the game over a few days, not just in one sitting.

Fun factoid I had learned in class: Scrabble is actually a non-proprietary game, since its copyright had died a long time ago, but copyrights don't protect ideas but "the expression of an idea".

In other words, as long as Mattel/Hasbro re-issue newer editions of Scrabble, it's still a proprietary game (but only for the released editions).



It makes me wonder how Scrabulous is getting sued though, since Scrabulous is just an interpretation of a non-proprietary game, unless it's actually ripping off elements a recent re-edition. However, all I can say is "haha for Mattel".

Something that is available to the rest of the world, but not the USA and Canada? That's incredible! Usually it's the exact opposite.

Darn it. Why did it have to have bugs???

I was about to post a "HAH! Finally the Americans must suffer the annoying Not Available in your region!" post and gloat. But its no fun to gloat if the game sucks.

I believe the expression is "hunky-dory", not "honky dory"- although the latter epression is much, MUCH funnier.
