MobyGames is a commercial website that catalogs information on video games and the people and companies behind them via crowdsourcing. This includes nearly 300,000 games for hundreds of platforms.[2] The site is supported by banner ads and a small number of people paying to become patrons.[3] Founded in 1999, ownership of the site has changed hands several times. It is currently owned by Atari SA.
