Half of the C64 game tunes were used in cracktros, there are also people like Virt or MCA who did game and democene stuff. I would not mind less game tune airtime, though removing them entirely would change the radio's caracter. Edit: I noticed quite a few game and cover tunes are marked as "moved". Perhaps a bit overzealouts? For example Druid II (Remix) is a Fairlight release, and if Fairlight isn't Scene I don't know what is.

What I wouldn't want on Nectarine are whole soundtracks of modern day game soundtracks, like whole Playstation 2,3,4,5 soundtracks, xbox stuff and so on. Or we remake/rename Nectarine into what CVGM is. Both stuff. Maybe we make a poll and every Nectariner gives his/her vote. I'd love to see what the result of it is

"Moved" status was used for many of these tunes, in order to avoid having them lumped in under "Rejected", without having to add another status indication. Less airtime for game tunes means more airtime for demotunes, and that is really the idea, you know? A more sophisticated locking system would be helpful, but it's currently rather clumsy to deal with Necta tags in the code.

But I think the problem is hearing the same tune too often, and this is typically because there are loads of remixes (Auf Monty, Last Ninja, etc.) So it might make sense to distinguish between real game tunes (more valuable -- as being a historic part of the demoscene, crackscene etc., and nostalgic for us) and game remixes (less valuable, and too numerous). With the usual common-sense proviso that any existing track with HUGE votes or faves can stick around.
