Hasbro recently joined forces with Pogo to bring Hasbro Games to Pogo and Club Pogo members. After a long awaiting game called “Scrabble”  there has been alot of concerns and issues regarding this new “Hasbro Srarabble Game” over at pogo. The game was released on 24/6/2008 and UK , Europe , Some parts of the United States are unable to play the game. We contacted both Electronic Arts and Hasbro regarding the game play issue and we managed to get a reply back from Hasbro themselves. Below is the email which we got back.

Thank you for your email to Hasbro UK Ltd.

We regret to inform you that Hasbro UK Ltd do not have the rights to Scrabble in the UK.  The Scrabble rights outside of North America are owned by Mattel.

Thank you for contacting Hasbro.

Kind regards,

Ask Hasbro
Hasbro UK Ltd

You just teamed up with pogo to bring hasbro games to their website.
Today Pogo released Hasbro Scrabble on their site and it says only USA
and Canada users can play it. I was wondering if you have any clue why
pogo are not allowing us UK players to play this game. have we been
shafted or what?

Pogo are now going to have to fix this and make the challenges equal to everyone so there is no dissapointment for all users.
