Who cares really? Game looks like absolute trash..
It's not impossible for Marvel to eventually get the rights back. They could just completely devalue the character in all media they have power over, trashing his story left and right, until it's not worth it for Sony to continue with those rights.
As it currently stands Sony is at the losing end of Spider-Man rights. They may enjoy the filmmaking and game rights currently, but Disney is leeched onto just about everything else.
Sony is contractually obligated to milk the shit out of Spider-Man; once they stop it all goes to Disney.
Disney has already gotten a strong threshold over the franchise having 100% merchandise profits and soon a strong presence in their theme parks. Also Spider-Man has made a billion dollar box office because of his presence in the MCU.

Exactly, if they devalued the character, it might make it harder for Sony to want to invest.
After Spider-Man's appearance in MUA3, a Switch game from Nintendo, this is BS. And defenders of this on Twitter try and justify it by bringing up SoulCalibur II and IV.
Next up: MUA4 either exclusive to PlayStation or Marvel vs Capcom 4, Spider-Man PS exclusive. (Not my joke)
Hm was going to pick this up on PC if it reviewed well but will be skipping it now. I could buy it for PlayStation, but I don’t like supporting anti-consumer practices and also 30 FPS 🤮
Square Enix lost a customer with this one. Exclusive content shouldn’t exist for multiplat games, unless you’re going to make the other versions cheaper.
Last year: "dis game sux lololo hoo want 2 pleh dis gam"
Playstation fans today: "oMg piderman?!?! Ownag!!"
That maybe true but look at all the Lems and herms saying how "excited" they were for this game but are now not buying it.
Last year: "dis game sux lololo hoo want 2 pleh dis gam"
Lems/Herms today: OMG I was gonna get this game at launch for 60 bux BUT now im not spending any money to hit em where it hurts for this character being exclusive...
There doing the same crap.
How long does Sony have exclusive rights to spidy?!
In perpetuity, as long as they poop out a movie every 5 years and 9 months.
The Xbox version will get Aunt May as an exclusive character.
Good, she is the real hero.
I honestly don't know why this is surprising to everyone. Sony owns the Spider-Man rights, this is obvious to be expected.
Hah! Totally forgot about that. makes sense.
Spider-Man’s popularity today is somewhat in part due to Sony. They pretty much own the character at this point, so while it does suck for x1 version buyers, I don’t see Sony putting him in the X1 version unless there was a MASSIVE outcry over it.
I agree it’s Sony throwing its corporate weight around but it doesn’t phase me in the slightest because that’s what many corporations do. So if this upsets you then I expect the same outrage to be directed towards the numerous other big instances of corporate injustices.

I actually do not recall that one. What I do remember was how this game was getting the opposite of hype and unanimously laughed at by all sides.
But hey, leave it up to Sony fanboys to now believe DLC is owning everyone that previously did not care about this game. Sony fans like to believe they're owning every every dead horse.

The PC / Xbox fake boys for this game are huge right now saying how it was a good game till this happened but now it sucks and isn't worth anything
@ProtossRushX: Who said this game looks good?
Ross said he was gonna pick it up if it reviewed good.
Xbox One Sub-reddit furious over over this exclusive deal, calls for boycott...
https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/i30wxe/spiderman_exclusive_to_playstation_in_the_new/
Where were they when Tomb Raider was exclusive to xbox one for a year? Oh thats right they didn't care back then.
When will these hypocrites grow up? I can't stand the xbox one reddit its echo chamber filled with hypocrites.
@NathanDrakeSwag: Yes but in 2021. And they probably would lean on mid to late 2021.
Don't know whose idea is this but I believe this game will be dead by then already so i'm not all mad about it. I don't really understand why do it for this game since Spider-Man was in Marvel Alliance 3 on Nintendo Switch. But I preordered on Amazon just to play on beta and probably would cancel it after that.
Did they ever talk about cross-gen or cross-platform at launch LOL?
The XBox version has the same model but with Craig texturing as a stand-in.
No, Microsoft has signed a deal to have Ben Reilly put into the game.

Probably cheering when STALKER 2 was timed exclusive.
Hope this ver of spidey allows for some good combo moves and I do hope they get the swinging right.
From trailer there is a big open sandbox for Iron Man and Thor to fly around so I do hope its big enough for spidey to swing as well. On the combo, Spidey PS4 combat is good but I find the 1 button combo is a bit repetitive after some time, especially coming from the arkham games.

I mean, they still get the same game, only shy one character. It's not a full or timed exclusive, it's not missing a level or missions or maps. It's ONE character that's made this a LULZ factory. And the rumor about it was floating around for two days. But, yeah. These same people are hugely quiet when MS locks up exclusive content.
Well, won't be long until MUA 3 and the LEGO Marvel games get "Goldeneye'd" if you know what I mean... and that is IF the rights on anything Spider-Man is true.
Hell, fondly remembered games like Spider-Man 2 (film game, console version) already have, so...
@st_monica: nah, mvc 4, if that even happens, will have a spiderman.
The avengers game is connected to the spiderman ps4 universe .
Blame disney for making that deal. Trying to make a mgu.
Well, I'm not blaming anyone. It sounds fun that Disney, Sony and SquareEnix working together for some MGU.

Yup. There's a reddit boycott snowballing.

Best argument ever.😎
What needs to happen is clear.
Phil Spencer needs to buy a unique character for the Xbox Brand
Gabe Newell needs to buy a unique character for the Steam gamers.
Sony already paid for there's so its up to the other brands to step and buy an exclusive character for their platform. If not they are cheap bastards and don't deserve one that's how you get these dev's don't work for free its simple math.

Naw not really, by the time the game releases with a 68 meta everyone will stop giving a shit.
Wow... This is a lame move. THESE are practices gamers should be revolting over.
Bro but xbox got Tomb Raider for a full year ahead of the ps4 and ps4 owners had to payh 60 dollars for a year old game when it launched this wasn't right either man.
Xbox does the same things.

Sony likely wasted their money doing this because this game isn't gonna be worth all the drama. Xbots are just addicted to acting victimized even though they're only 15% of any game's overall sales.
It has been worth it for the tears though.
Sony gets even more exclusive content for the game

I almost feel sorry for anyone who was looking forward to buying this game on Xbox or PC. Almost...
