Terms of Service

Last updated October 5, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to LudoDB (https://www.ludodb.com), the public API, and the official iOS and Android apps (together, the "Services"), operated by Musical Pig LLC ("we", "us"). By using the Services you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use them.

1. The service

LudoDB is an independent catalog of PC game data: live player counts, regional store prices, sampled history, depot builds, seasonal sale dates, and algorithmic estimates. It is not a store, not a marketplace, not a broker, and not investment, tax, or legal advice.

2. Independent operation and trademarks

LudoDB is an independent data catalog. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Valve Corporation, or any game developer, publisher, or rightsholder listed on this site. Steam and all third-party game titles, logos, and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Display of those names and assets is for identification and cataloging only.

3. Data is provided as-is

Catalog figures come from public Steam endpoints and from samples LudoDB recorded. They may be incomplete, delayed, region-specific, or wrong. Historical player and price series exist only from the first sample forward. Valve does not publish a public history API, and LudoDB does not invent backfill.

Studio cost-to-make, Steam earnings, and player-count forecast lines are automated guesstimates. They are not audited, not publisher books, not Valve forecasts, and not a promise of future players. Do not use them for investing, acquisitions, contracts, taxes, staffing, server capacity, or formal reporting. You use the Services at your own risk.

4. No accounts

LudoDB does not offer user accounts. Watchlist, Compare, Owned/wishlist overlay, Glance or Catalog view, site look, Fold or Open cards, and filter choices stay on this device. The official phone app also keeps home pins, watches, the notification switch, background refresh, look, Show 18+, and the last pasted public Steam profile on that phone. A crossed watch shows a local notification on that phone. The steamid is not stored on our servers. The Privacy Policy describes what is stored where.

5. Public API

JSON endpoints over HTTPS. No API keys or accounts required. CORS supports GET, HEAD, POST, and OPTIONS. Standard rate limits apply at 120 requests per minute per IP address, no more than 20 of those in any 10 seconds, and 120 distinct titles per hour. Past 20 in 10 seconds, further requests are refused for 10 seconds. JSON responses are cached for 30 seconds; the CSV export is updated as a 5-minute snapshot.

Over the published limit the API returns HTTP 429. Search query strings are capped and are not stored. Do not bypass the limit, impersonate the LudoDB website, or treat the catalog as a bulk scrape target. Library import is a website feature and is not part of the published API. Requests without the short-lived website cookie are refused. Website add-missing may queue every missing title from a public profile, capped at 20,000 ids per request. Written permission from us is required before you resell, rebrand, or republish the API as your own product.

Widgets on embed.ludodb.com are the supported way to show a LudoDB title card, chart, or board on another site or in chat. You can iframe them, or copy a link and paste it in Discord, Messages, or anywhere you chat. You can bookmark that link. They use the same public catalog and the same rate limits, and they must keep a visible LudoDB link. Do not wrap the catalog in a different iframe origin, strip attribution, or treat the widget as a bulk feed.

6. Acceptable use

  • Do not use the Services for anything unlawful.
  • Do not attempt to disrupt, overload, or reverse-engineer the service in order to evade these Terms.
  • Do not automate around the published API limit or pretend to be the LudoDB website in order to do so.
  • Do not frame or mirror www.ludodb.com so that it appears to be someone else's product. Official widgets from embed.ludodb.com are allowed if they keep the LudoDB mark.
  • Do not use LudoDB to host, distribute, or pirate game software. We do not host game files.

7. Intellectual property

The LudoDB name, site design, original code, and the way samples are arranged are Musical Pig LLC property. Third-party game titles, logos, and artwork remain with their owners.

8. Copyright notices

Rights-holders who want a listing hidden, or who believe something on LudoDB infringes a copyright, should write [email protected]. The DMCA Policy explains what to include. We can omit a title from LudoDB pages without rewriting sampled charts.

9. Third-party sites

Links to Steam, publishers, app stores, and other sites leave LudoDB. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for them.

10. Limitation of liability

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MUSICAL PIG LLC AND ITS PEOPLE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY FIGURE SHOWN THERE, INCLUDING PRICES, PLAYER COUNTS, BUILDS, AND GUESSTIMATES.

11. Indemnity

You agree to defend and hold Musical Pig LLC harmless from claims and costs (including reasonable legal fees) that arise from your use of the Services or your breach of these Terms.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms. The new text is effective when posted on this page with a new Last Updated date. Continued use after that is acceptance of the update.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts in Pennsylvania have exclusive jurisdiction, except where applicable law says you may bring a claim in your own venue.
