Why I set all my Steam and DOS games to "PC"

Just the other day, I finally finished moving the last of my "Steam" and "DOS" games to "PC", with the former as their sub-platform. But why do this?

We seem to be in something of a golden age of re-releases. Which is very cool, but it blurs the line between what platform a game belongs to a lot. In the case of the PC, I might be playing a DOS game, through DOSBox, that I bought on Steam. So where does it go then?

Previously, I would generally put DOS games under DOS regardless of where I got them, because it sort of feels like its own platform. But even that wasn't foolproof, because there was an era where games could run on either DOS or Windows--for example, Little Big Adventure 2 is a game I used to play on Windows, but the Steam version runs it on DOS through DOSBox, I guess because that's an easier solution than trying to make an old Windows executable play nice with current Windows.

Also, it's just much nicer to keep PC game series together like this. When a series is on console, there's usually a pretty big shift between generations, so it doesn't feel all that weird to have, say, Castlevania 1-3 listed under NES and then Super Castlevania IV and Dracula X under SNES. But with something like Jazz Jackrabbit or the aforementioned LBA, separating them just feels wrong.

So there you go. They're all together now, even if that inflates the PC game count like crazy.
