The thing about Spider-Man is that Sony's literally launching the PS5 with their main character being Miles Morales. Spider-Man is literally the Master Chief of Sony's next-gen console launch. Of course they want him to be exclusive to Avengers as well!
I'm actually surprised they pulled it off, though. Seems wild in an age where content exclusives are things like gun skins and maps!

I think this more about Marvel having confidence on Sony due to Spiderman PS4 and all around first party sales.
I wonder if that rumored Guardians of the Galaxy game from Eidos Montreal is part of this collaboration. If it is, Sony probably has some exclusive content for it since they seemingly want to be the go to place for big budget Marvel gaming content.
Marvel did say that Insomniac's S-M was the Iron Man moment for them when it comes to games.
They don't care anything about Marvel or Disney, Spider-Man is just becoming iconic to the Sony entertainment brands and they are doing what it takes to keep it that way.
Cmon Sony make an aquisition before the day is over, we need it for the total meltdown / suicide watch feeling on Era
The traffic it's generated in less than an hour is already above the war table thread.
I get it. It's shitty. I also don't like the next gen version of Yakuza 7 being time exclusive to Series X and I'd rather see Sony throwing money to fund a JRPG, but that's business I guess.
Well this 3rd party deals are gonna get a lot of folk angry.
For me it's a bit indifferent not even sure if I'm buying this

Yeah, this is where I'm at. Like, I remember getting pretty pissed at all the money hatting MS did back on the 360, but it is what it is. Being Playstation + Nintendo + PC (just got a new gaming PC earlier this year) makes it pretty hard to get upset about any exclusive deals anyway. Plus as others have pointed out, the influx of cash from platform holders for these deals can be a big help to development costs (particularly for new IP or risky projects).
Like, it'd be nice if I could watch any movie/TV show on Netflix (like back in 2012 when it almost felt like that was the case lol) but Hulu/HBO/Amazon keep getting exclusive content. How anti-consumer!!
Side note: the ongoing streaming wars and balkanization of content in that arena is a big reason that I'm wary of Gamepass taking off if it results in a similar situation of every publisher wanting their own game streaming service.
I'm with ya. If something is exclusive that I have no access to, that thing simply stops existing to me lol.
Everybody needs to give me OT names so i can make the poll
True, I didn't notice that. But its not surprising given people like to complain (myself included in this case, I think its a bullshit move). Just sucks because this almost guarantees that cross play is not happening
Here's my take: Grab all the Avengers money by whatever means necessary and give to ND, Sony. That's it. I don't care beyond that. xD
Yeah FF16 definitely going to be exclusive (timed or otherwise) at this rate.
I CANNOT see GTA 6 being timed, that might break the internet.

Is this before the ps5 conference? Because the poster pretty much predicted a lot
Well, think about it like this.
Due to the exclusivity, Spider-Man will not be integral to the main game, and will just come later.
Had Spider-Man been allowed for all, they would have probably had him release at launch and been an actual part of the story.
So, not only are you getting Spider-Man later instead of at launch, but he will be an afterthought character instead of a main character in the story, just because they can't have the story mode be different for all the systems.
Like, if that doesn't bother you, getting a worse game just so others won't get to play the same game, then you might be from Shelbyville lol.
It's fun for the memes but nothing else. This deal hurts literally everyone, and I'm sad that some PS players can't see that. Open your eyes folks.
I think assuming that Spider-Man would have been part of the main game if not for the exclusivity is going a few steps too far, no?
ND brand and Marvel, that's a money printer. Although I rather give it to a first party dev which isn't 'big' yet like Bend probably?
After those remarks yesterday about Sony going all out on exclusive deals for early next gen....this Spider-Man news could just be the start,lol.
I am pretty sure the return on investment on this will be quite high, if we are talking about profits. xD
This is using it 'smartly', anti consumer for sure but definite a smart use
This is the important takeaway. Whatever resources wasted on a complete stinker of a game. A GaaS stinker at that.
yeah like it or not, news like this is selling PS5's in the minds of the consumers, no doubt about that
lol all Sony onlys owns the movie rights. These takes today are sending me.
