ＢＢＣより。Scrabble app changes anger players on Facebook
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22905191
Thousands of players have taken to Facebook to complain about changes made to a popular mobile Scrabble app.
The changes have been made by Electronic Arts (EA), which took over the running of the app from Scrabble brand owner Mattel at the end of May.
Players are angry that their player histories have been wiped, the dictionary has changed and the board no longer refreshes itself after a turn.
Mattel apologised but added that the update had also attracted new players.
The firm said new features included the ability to play the game in six languages, customise the board, and pay for an ad-free version.
The game also uses the Collins dictionary rather than the traditional Chambers edition.
The app’s official page on Facebook has more than 3.6m “likes” but most of these were amassed before the update and almost all of the recent comments are from players asking for the old version to be returned.
A Facebook group set up by players called “please bring back the Scrabble we love” has more than 2,000 members.
Lost history
“Who wants to play it in six languages?” player Helen Hawkins, from Kent, asked the BBC.
EAのスクラブルのゲームになってユーザーからブーイング。
六カ国語のスクラブルをだれが遊びたいか？
スクラブルはクルスワードパズル的な要素を含んだもので、単語を作る！というもの
確かに、そんなマルチリンガル相手のソフトの需要は？だろう。
