Steam, XBLA, Wiiware/VC, PSN, Gamersgate, Stardock Central/Impulse, Metaboli, Good Old Games, Gametap, Direct2Drive.. etc
There should be something added for these services, yes? Maybe sub-platforms heh. Or would this be too much like advertising, thoughts?
Should download services be added as platforms?
Download services for consoles are already listed. PC games are available through so many different channels, I doubt it would work out. Just list 'em as PC games. If they're available online, maybe find a way to work that into the article.
XBLA and PSN are already platforms on the site... Wii VC is called Wii Shop...
Most of the PC-based ones like Direct2Drive shouldn't be added because most of the time they are really more considered as an alternate means of purchasing a product and not an actual platform (where this differs from XBLA and PSN is that games are sometimes exclusively released for those services).
I do think though that there should be some sort of way to view all Wiiware and XNA games on the site and to associate games that fall into that category into their pages, but I don't feel like they should classify as platforms, but more like some sort of a developer add-on...
