Is this being used in some codebase? How stable is it? What are the plans for it?
I have so many questions, but will stick with these for now.

Note that MobyGames is wildly incomplete.
Really not a mystery. This is not that complex for people with low level programming experience (embedded, (older) games, demoscene, performance systems, etc.).
Knowing these tricks and knowing how to apply them is basically a requirement on these areas.
Never looked back to this project, but explains why this project is basically stuck at the same place as before.
In any case, I didn't let this bad experience affect my passion for foss and I continued contributing to more welcoming and successful projects.
Even the darkest tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorists don't suggest that Microsoft is going to hold my WMV-encoded home videos hostage. But you seem to be taking it even further, somehow tying it to the Media Center itself. Please explain.

I've been on both sides of this, and I saw in the last 20 years and continue to see how this works. Now, I'm on the hiring side for the last 7 years, and there is no way this push down wages, in fact it is exactly the opposite, this pushes wages up. I prefer pay more to bring someone very good, than pay half to have someone semi competent. If I restrict my hiring locally, I'll mostly get low quality workers, the market is satured of low quality which will push wages down, the very good ones are very difficult to hire.
