Not like it's a big deal or anything, but I just noticed there's no DLC area for iPhone games.
 
I know for a fact that some iPhone games have DLC.  Just lettin' you guys know.

Just wait until the Street Fighter iPhone game gets DLC, then they'll fix it. ;)

That was worth every penny.
Anyhoo, I think this is a fair point to raise overall, as the "scope" of Giant Bomb's wiki is somewhat nebulous and always evolving.
In terms of subjective importance, I get the impression that iPhone games are one notch above free Indie games, and one notch below Pinball tables.  Which is to say it's quite possible that 95% of the userbase will not be interested in any of those pages, and the other 5% can be left to merrily chip away at adding the games we like. :) Purely my own speculation, however.
 
I'm curious what the top men of the forum think.  App Store gripes aside, how relevant is properly databasing a DLC song pack to Tap Tap Revenge, when compared to Rock Band?

They do have DLC pages. add 'DLC' at the end of the page URL.

@mracoon:  Definitely all game pages can, but having that menu option visible is not currently linked to the iPhone platform tag.  If someone adds Xbox 360 to a game page's platforms, DLC immediately appears in the sidebar.

The problem is that when adding DLC it asks you which platform the game was released on and there is currently no iPhone option.

@mracoon: I'm sure that is what the OP was referring to.  So I'm guessing those two code-level requirements involve a staff decision, for if it's worth implementing?

oh wow, that's... kind of odd, considering some live marketplace games DO have DLC packs for them... (Small Arms, Tetris Splash, etc.)
 
of course, it's not like anybody even cares about those games anymore, right? lol
 
still, I think the DLC pages need some intense re-working on the site, not only with associations like this, but also with how they're laid-out.
 
right now, most of the DLC pages look like a mess.

@Vigorousjammer: Just select Xbox 360 for those. When you're buying DLC it makes no difference whether you're buying it for a retail 360 game or a Live Arcade game. Of course, that still doesn't solve the problem of the link not appearing on those pages. :(

@LordAndrew:  yeah, I think that's really the main thing... having it appear on the page.
