Just found out that on @questlog you can specifically search for a game by putting quotation marks around the game name — like "Game Name".

Recebi e-mail hoje cujo título é "Important Changes to MobyGames API Access"

Uso essa API com o plugin MediaDB do Obsidian para adicionar jogos. Dava preferência de uso à API da Moby Games por ser bem consolidado e com ricas contribuições dos usuários, incluindo raras fotos de estojos e manuais de jogos antigos. Além de conter informações sobre jogos atuais e nem tão antigos (foi lá que descobri que o "Stranglehold" estava disponível no GOG).

Pouco tempo atrás, indiquei a API a um amigo, mas ele informou que era um serviço pago... Estranhei; agora, isso.

Acho que os motivos são explicados nesta postagem:
