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.

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:

I hope it is not too late to wish a Happy New Year and ask again what are your personal goals for 2025, MobyGames or gaming in general related? Here's our resolutions for last year. Let us know what are your plans for this year.
