DefaultGen | 6,064 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 As much as I like to laugh at some of this company's projects, can't help but feel a tinge of doom on the horizon here. Mobygames for all its shortcomings is a very good source of random info for obscure games. I don't know if anyone else remembers the last time a company that didn't care about video games bought a video game database. https://menafn.com/1103237107/Atari-Announces-Strategic-Transactions?fbclid=IwAR1ytGt96z_rgWFAANCL0Isy_zam7m46SnF4w2VFBVQXlYWi-GX2Vr-U-Tg Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/9579-fake-atari-is-buying-mobygames/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultGen | 6,064 Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Maybe, did I miss a cool thread where we can watch Mobygames get taken offline and replaced by a concert poster speculation blog?

Huh, curiosity got the better of me and I decided to check out that concert poster speculation blog, and their back up of the forum has now completely vanished. But don't worry, if you wanted to know what the top 2 active sellers are it's BotW for WiiU and Super Mario Galaxy 2. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/9579-fake-atari-is-buying-mobygames/#findComment-247883 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing this only tracks graded games (based on the GTA Trilogy version in spot #3). According to GVN data... Wii Sports is the #1 seller last week. And last month. And the last year. I'm going to take a wild guess and say next week... Wii Sports will be the most actively sold game. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/9579-fake-atari-is-buying-mobygames/#findComment-247934 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense when copies of Wii Sports outnumber humans on planet earth by 7 to 1! 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/9579-fake-atari-is-buying-mobygames/#findComment-248040 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreaKBeatZ | 136 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 This is tragic. The amount of information on PC games is immense, and that info is much harder to find from other sources than info on console games. This will be devastating for PC collectors.
