List platforms in MobyGames, without opening it
MobyGames exposes 3 operations and a companion can work all of them: list platforms, list genres and list games. Anything that changes a record waits for your click.
Open the game. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the MobyGames afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what MobyGames exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, 3 reads and no writes. In practice that means it can list platforms, list genres and list games, and work across the games, genres and platforms.
The MobyGames API stops at MobyGames. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Can it list platforms on its own?
All 3 operations read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can list platforms, list genres and list games, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from MobyGames's documentation.
The games are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the genres. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of MobyGames admin becomes a queue you review.

- List Genres
- List Games
Nothing writes back. So what moves the games?
Through the screens you already use.
MobyGames exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives MobyGames in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a game, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a game in MobyGames touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
Can the games pass run every Monday?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the MobyGames games pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the busywork, the MobyGames games sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
