...thousands of Scrabulous fans have joined groups and signed petitions angrily denouncing Hasbro for banning the game. Electronic Arts, which licensed Scrabble from Hasbro, launched a beta version of the classic board game last week.

Within hours of Wordscraper's going up Wednesday night, hundreds of people began installing the game as word spread across the social network...
