    After talking it over a bit (mostly by talking to myself), we've added an Android platform to the site.

    Thanks :D Doesn't seem like many sites have gone beyond a smartphone or iphone category so far.

    Hmm... I guess that works, even though android is technically an OS. Now that I think about it that's probably a good idea since no android phone is as popular as the iPhone so it's simpler to have Android as the platform rather than listing something like the Droid X or the HTC incredible. Although I do see where you are coming from regarding the time it took to make the decision.

    I still think Steam should be a platform. Marketplace is a platform. I'm sure this argument has been done before.

    I agree, but I guess you are technically playing just PC games through steam.

    And I'm technically playing my Marketplace games through my Xbox 360. Yet, another platform.

    I don't think Marketplace should be a platform, wouldn't the 360 be the platform?

    @hematurge: I would think so. 
     
    @Claude: It's weird, but there is probably something about it that separates it that I'm not aware of. Like I said I'm for steam being listed separate, if marketplace is.
