    The game doesn’t allow racist and anti-LGBTQ+ slurs?!?

    It sounds like they’re talking about the original, board game form, not a video game. You can play with house rules.

      Correct. In fact…

      The popular word-spelling game recently released a new European version called Scrabble Together. The new version allows players to play in teams, challenges players to spell certain kinds of “goal” words (like a word containing two of the same letter), and provides hints for improving players’ skills. The new version also has the classic Scrabble game board, with its color-coded scoring, on its underside.

      A big part of what Fox was complaining about was that “scoring is in our DNA” and “what’s the point in playing a game if you don’t take score?” (apparently none of them have ever played a cooperative game before, and I cant say I’m surprised, I sure wouldn’t want to play a game with any of them lol). Even if that was the most true and reasonable argument in the world, you can just flip the damn thing over and play the old version…
