Why not buy the program and hire the makers on staff? Does merger-mania just count between corporations?

Apparently they don't know the word 'collaboration'. I know a story of girls with IP & the corporate 'control' over rode common sense. Great creative title & I love the scrabble tiles. :) Connie So sad that big brands can’t understand… the concept of how much their brand was being promoted.

Clearly the decision makers at Hasbro didn't read Wikinomics. It seems that big brands are finding themselves in an increasingly strange place; both wanting to control and engage at the same time. Working in a big corporation myself, I'm actually impressed they built their scrabble app in 8 months. It once took me 45 minutes to get the necessary approvals required to for a stamp. Yes. A regular $.041 postage stamp. Wonder why Hasbro didn't just buy Scrabulous or support them with advertising? Strange that they chose to tick off their fan base with nasty legal action. Great post!

It'll be interesting to see what happens next. Very thought provoking post of how this has been mishandled. It’ll be interesting to see what happens next.
