Atari recently completed its acquisition of the video game database MobyGames for $1.5 million. This comes after the deal was first announced back in November of 2021.
“The MobyGames community has played a sustained and important role in the documentation, celebration, and preservation of video games, and supporting MobyGames allows us to give back to the community and contribute to its growth and success,” said Atari CEO Wade Rosen. “It’s important to Atari that MobyGames retains every bit of its integrity, and we’re committed to supporting the site in ways that improve the experience for both contributors and users.”
Rosen also said that Atari will allow MobyGames to continue to provide its well-known services. Additionally, MobyGames’ general manager, Jeremiah Freyholtz, is expected to remain in his current role with the company.
MobyGames is a world-famous database website that catalogs video games and the creators behind them via crowdsourcing efforts. The company was founded in January of 1999.
