| 1 | Platforms are software (programs, apps, [[OtherSites websites]]), hardware ({{video game systems}}, tablets, mobile phones, other devices), or locations ({{theater}}s, concert halls, film festivals, 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. |

| 3 | 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. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | So in general, while platforms themselves usually do not have tropes of their own[[note]]Though some platforms like ''Platform/{{Roblox}}'' have tropes of their own.[[/note]], they can inform the tropes available to the works or performances they host. |
