Is there a database anywhere for every chess.com game played

I know some other sites have this so does chess.com have it too?

Yes, and no.

The archive chess.com maintains for all users is a database but you can only look at one user at a time. You can look at all the games that anyone has played on Chess.com. 

And you can also use the Game Explorer to look at your own or another player's games.   I think the Game Explorer is a terrific tool.  It is good to see what lines you or someone else has had success with and the ones that have led to losses.

As far as looking at a database of all the billions of games played here,  I presume that the management has some ability to query at least the standard games database at one time.

I think it might be fun to look at but I don't think it would be much use as a study aid.
