I dunno how quickly they adapted here. Better would've been to release the alternative before being sued...

How soon do you all think they started working on this version?

Would it have been possible to crank this out in the few days between the time Scrabulous was pulled and this came out?

That's what I assumed they did and that's why I am so impressed. I guess they might have been working on it before.

Hasbro has been breathing down their necks and their getting shut down has been a very real possibility for months. I suspect they've been working on this for quite awhile.

They had been in limbo since January, it's not exactly a quick adaptation.

The fact that they had a program to come back with so quickly will very likely work against them in court. HB will want ongoing revenue from this new product because it used the HB materials to build up it's user base. A sort of bait-and-switch HB will argue.
