Platforms are software (programs, apps, websites), hardware (video game consoles, tablets, mobile phones, other devices), or locations (theaters, concert halls, other public venues) that are made or used to allow people to experience various creative works or performances. Some are specialized around a single medium of work, while others are designed to be more versatile and allow for people to enjoy multiple forms of media.

Rough index draft for this thread.

Added DiffLines:

Platforms are software (programs, apps, websites), hardware (video game consoles, tablets, mobile phones, other devices), or locations (theaters, concert halls, other public venues) that are made or used to allow people to experience various creative works or performances. Some are specialized around a single medium of work, while others are designed to be more versatile and allow for people to enjoy multiple forms of media.

A large number of the platforms listed here arose as a result of the advent of computers, and with technology continuing to advance to this day, will likely become even more powerful, less expensive, and more ubiquitous in the future. Aspects like technical specifications, memory limitations, and other design details play a significant role in shaping the kinds of works that can be hosted through such platforms.

So in general, while platforms themselves do not have tropes of their own, they can inform the tropes available to the works or performances they host.
