Moby v2025.01.31

By Tracy Poff (2097) on January 31, 2025 · 4 comments

We'd love your feedback! We've just launched a short survey to learn more about our MobyGames users and inform our development roadmap! Survey responders will be rewarded with 1 month of free MobyPro (at end of the survey period), but we will also run a giveaway of two $100 Amazon Gift Cards among all respondents who complete the survey.

There have been several more updates this week, as well:

  • The Itch.io scraper will no longer add covers without platforms.
    • You'll have to add covers manually for games that don't support Android, iOS, Windows, or Linux. We can't guess the right platform automatically.
  • Identifiers can now be added to new games from the "contribute additional content" screen.
  • Entering credits with "(credited as X)" will no longer overwrite the name.
  • Entering credits like "Foo (credited as Bar)" will now attempt to match people named either "Foo" or "Bar".
  • Related sites can now have URLs longer than 256 characters.
  • Related games with the same title will no longer needlessly show up in the See Also list.
  • YouTube shorts can now be submitted as game trailers.

Moby v2025.01.24

By Tracy Poff (2097) on January 24, 2025 · 5 comments

It's been a while since we've done one of these posts, but work has been ongoing behind the scenes. You can look forward to more regular update news in the future, but for now here are a few small things we've done lately.

MobyPro

  • The beta of the new game browser can now filter out NSFW games.

General Updates

  • NSFW results can now be filtered from the quicksearch. Click the link on the search results page to toggle this setting.
    • If you choose to hide them, they will also be hidden from the search-as-you-type results (the dropdown that appears below the search box).
  • Bugfix: Adding a game from the missing games list will now correctly add the identifier.
  • Admin bugfix: moving credits between platforms should now work in all cases.
  • Various stability improvements and backend updates.

MobyGames Stats - 2024 edition

By vedder (75353) on January 09, 2025 · 4 comments

A new year, a new graph and animated chart! 🥳 The database visualization showing the almost exponentional growth in games over the past decades and our noble effort to document them all!(Click to enlarge)

An explanation: each coloured shape in the graph represents a platform. The horizontal axis is time. The vertical axis represents the number of games released and is stacked. So the height of a shape on a given point in time indicates the number of games released for that platform that year. The total height of the graph on a given point in time shows the total releases that year. The graph is meant to represent game releases and thus excludes DLC, Special Edition and Compilation items. Each game is represented once for each platform it was released on.
As usual we see a drop-off at the end, simply because we haven't been able to keep up with all the new game releases.
Feel free to point out interesting info in the graph and your contributions in the thread!

I have also updated the bar chart race I made last year with this year's data:
