Description Andrej M. 2019-05-21 19:50:04 UTC
Dear Maintainer,

it seems that the legacy API for TheGamesDB has been shutdown: https://forums.thegamesdb.net/viewtopic.php?t=591

The new API now requires an API key and it's limited to 1500 requests per user.

Please consider implementing the new API as Games collections currently don't have any usable data sources.

Best regards,
Andrej

Update data source for TheGamesDB.net

Use default API key, per TGDB API instructions and be smart about
caching genre, publisher, and developer data.
