Adding Release doesn't affect Platforms

If you add a new release for a game to the wiki with a platform that hasn't been added to the platforms list, there seems to be a bit of a mismatch with how that information is presented on the site.

As an example, there's the game page for Bears Can't Drift! As it is now, under platforms it's only listed as an Ouya game, but only has a single release as a PS4 game. The top area of the page lists both (suggesting that it's grabbing both platforms and releases) but an API call for the game's platforms will only list Ouya even though it should probably list PS4 as well. After all, if it's had a PS4 release, that must be a platform for the game, right?

So my suggestion would be for adding a release to add to the platforms field if the release's platform isn't already there. I imagine the assumption is that anyone adding a release would also add that to the platforms manually as well or that it'd already be there as platforms are generally confirmed before releases.
