Hey there I do work atm my WIP list off and I came across that the game MTV Music Generator 3 isn't listed anymore. Why does the whole game listing got deleted? https://www.mobygames.com/game/60952/mtv-music-generator-3/

I can see the listing, but the submission times out after a while, unless completed. I've put it back in WIP status, so hopefully it works for you now?
I also renamed the title a little, adding a colon to conform with the rest of the series of "MTV: Music Generator n" style

Why are the platforms marked as approved, but the game itself is pending?

I maybe have to be a bit clearer about my situation here. With WIP I ment coverarts. The games was once listed on the site but isnt anymore - at least I can not accsess that listing page. ("The game you requested could not be found." Error) I submitted coverart for that game. Some I pulled and it got put back in WIP. I could resubmit that coverart with better scan of my copy anyway for the game btw.
So the game listing itself was up and good for longer than 6 months before it was removed and now put back into WIP somehow between Beginning of April (Where I pulled some scans back to WIP) and now. I am not the user who created the page so i do think its back to their WIP page? Can you fix the gamelisting itself and give it a go again or can you change the user to me so that I can finish the listing?

Sciere WIP-ed it recently: "If this is purely to create music and there are no goals or challenges, it cannot be listed on the site as a game."
And at first sight that is correct. All of these need to be rejected: https://www.mobygames.com/group/8580/music-mtv-music-generator-series/

This post from years ago talks about music software's eligibility here:
https://www.mobygames.com/forum/1/thread/145719/the-whole-is-it-a-game-thing
I could go through and reject everything mentioned there....except veddar seems against having these music games but also added MTV Generator 2 beforehand which was approved by Sciere, who seems to be against it now,, so um yeah...
