I would assume it's because new platforms aren't something that happen quite frequently and if a new one if coming out...I think the staff would know about it and be on it very quickly.
the zune as a gaming platform, thanks for the laugh.
also Steam being wouldn't really get called a platform, I mean it has a few specific exclusives to it, but since its mostly just a good way to get PC games you can also get other ways, I doubt it would get made a platform.
Actually the Zune is viable as a platform addition seeing as there are actually games released on it now. Is there a Cell phone platform yet, by the way?
"the zune as a gaming platform, thanks for the laugh."
Actually, MS recently added games support on Zune with a recent update. XNA developers are making indie games like Braid for Zune and MS plans to expand it in the future. Today you can play games on the Zune so therefore it should have a GB page, even though it only has 2 offical games. Still some platforms listed on GB dont even have games listed or attached to it. If the ipod has a page, then its only fair that Zune should too.

Hell, there are like 40 mobile games companies and mobile games listed without a mobile phone platform XD

The Zune is a platform, as is the ipod. Jeff Gerstmann already explained that because there are so many of the same cell phone games, GB doesnt count 'em. And again, the ipod has crappy games, and it has a page on GB, its only fair the Zune should too since it is a supported platform.
XBLM, PSN, and the Wii Shop are standardized platforms developed and supported by the console manufacturers. Steam is but one of many digital distribution services for the PC. There isn't a standard platform for digitally distributed PC games.

I was about to agree with Jayge but this comment Lord just made makes sense.
Also, could some staff add Graphics card, processor, motherboard, hard drive, Power Supply, RAM, Case, and such Computer Components to the Acessories list and put them that they are for the PC since they are thing one can purchase for their system. in Giantbomb I would categorize them as accessories.

Then we'd need to count all these things in consoles too, since they use them as well. Really, the accessories are better defined as peripherals.
OK, I don't know where to post this but it seems like the right place because there is a platform missing I'd like to be added.. I was starting a new list about games I have owned and started looking at the pages for those games only to see that people hadn't put in certain platforms...
it seems that Commodore 16 is missing , and no I dont mean 64, I mean 16.. I had a C16 and I had a bunch of games for it.
