#Video game websites software

In particular, the website was recently purchased by Atari SA, the current owners of the Atari brand, specifically for the depth of its metadata for historical games. While we recognized concerns about whether a community-driven database could be considered less authoritative than a database managed by the industry itself, we found notable support for MobyGames from within the industry. However, we found that these other databases tended to focus on current releases, while MobyGames had more comprehensive information about historical game releases (eg., at the time of designing this study in summer 2022, IGDB had information about approximately 290 games for the Commodore 64, while MobyGames had cataloged over 5000 games for the same platform). We considered other databases, such as, an industry-favored video game database that provides game metadata to (and is owned by) the popular game streaming website Twitch. While any database of games will always be a work in progress, we believe MobyGames has the most active community of volunteers keeping the database as complete as possible. Out of every game database we examined, MobyGames has the largest and richest corpus to work with for our research question. For this study, we decided to use data from MobyGames, a community-run database of video game releases. To examine the state of the video game reissue market, we needed a large dataset of historical video games which we could compare against the games currently available on the marketplace. The Video Game History Foundation published an in-depth study on the video game reissue market, and we're honored they chose the MobyGames database for this important work!
