Massive congratulations to リカルド・フィリペ and jaXen for being the 10th and 11th contributors to reach 100,000 MobyGames points!

It's a remarkable total, and the amount of items they've both added at this point is pretty staggering - thanks to both of them!

As per tradition, I present to you the database visualization! Made possible by the MobyGames API.

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. 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.

[All data taken from MobyGames. Of course, the graph is only as complete as our database is - meaning we currently undercount some new digital game platforms like PC/Mac, digital console, and iOS/Android since we don't 'scrape' those databases automatically - and the dropoff in 2015 and 2016 is because we're still entering newer games into the database. Come help us if you can!]

Regular MobyGames contributor Pseudo_Intellectual has posted his latest puzzle, as follows:

"It's been a while since I hit you fine folks with a round of my little game, but I hope that it takes you a few more minutes to guess the game-related source of all these letters than it did last time"



The existing forum thread has some correct guesses but there's still quite a few missing letters!
