This makes so much more sense now...

It's really sad news, since MobyGames has a lot of material that should be available to everybody... for free. Let's hope they actually listen now.

The old mobygames site is back.

Indeed.

New owners who seem to share the "original spirit".

I think most people will be cautious for a while but you can see old contributors posting back and the new owners seem to be reliable (switching back to the old design a few hours after announcing the acquisition of MG).

First things first - I'm happy to announce that the MobyGames you knew and loved is coming back in the VERY near future - hopefully as soon as later today! Yep, the site design is being rolled back. Poof. Adios to the redesign. Then we'll be working on fixing any bugs and various improvements, depending on what the community is looking for. I'll make a new thread for that, but feel free to start making suggestions. We'll also be working with Corn Popper and all contributors. This will be a community effort.

Also coming aboard is Simon Carless (investor) who helped me acquire MobyGames. He helps to run the Game Developers Conference and Gamasutra.com and is a former game developer himself. He's taken a long-term interest in the site's wellbeing, and is also going to be helping out in his spare time to make MobyGames even more definitive and recruiting other folks to fill out some of the missing areas.

[...]

The goal is to give the site some much-needed love and attention. MobyGames has long been an authoritative source for the games industry and we want to make sure it continues to be exactly that. The redesign a few months ago did not go well, as you know, so the very first course of action is to reverse that. Going forward we'll continue to improve things along with your input. I sincerely hope that those of who you have left recently will come back. We need you.

And now it's awful again. Why?

Because nice things are not allowed on the internet.

The intern couldn't do it the proper way and used a website construction kit instead.
