facebook-only! ? – SCRABBLE Premium Review

I HATE games that depend on external accounts for full functionality, and this is one of them. You can’t play online with specific people unless you and they both log in through the facebook or “Origin”, whatever that is. So I dropped $7.99 on this game for nothing. Hugely disappointed. ??? Update: now I’ve created an Origin account (it’s an Electronic Arts thing...which should clue you in to what’s coming), and the friend I want to play with has done the same, and there’s STILL no way for us to play together because there’s no way to type in the name of a person you want to identity as a friend. You can only play with “recently played friends”, so you can’t play with any “friend” you haven’t already played with, so if you want to play with a “friend” who is actually a friend, you’re out of luck. So the game (that I spent $7.99 on) remains useless for me (and my friend). ???
