So does this mean no more spider man game on PlayStation?

Um, did you see Star Wars before Disney bought it? It wasn't exactly smelling pretty. 

The only stories coming out of it in about half a decade or so that didn't manage to infuriate a majority of the fanbase were the ones with Cade Skywalker about a century into the future of the series. 

They lost a lot of good stuff sure, but plenty of dung, especially recent dung. Jacen Solo < Ben Solo, trust me. 

AAANNNDD a sense of not letting Sony just walk around with the Marvel brand willy nilly was a good idea why? 

Ignore Spiderverse for a moment, and remember the rest of the output. I like the Amazing series well enough, but intervention was needed. 

Pretty sure Venom was the superhero equiv of a Bay Transformer film. 

Also lest we forget: Emoji Movie. 

Different departments

The thing is the article does also mention that Sony never even came back to attempt to find a compromise, the just flat out refused kept it at that. If they didn't wanna roll over on that they didn't need to, but to not even try to figure out something else that works out better for them, especially after all the success they've had as a result of this deal in the past, is still kind of stupid. It's like they were so willing to just walk away from it immediately. 

First off, the Emoji movie is irrelevant in this discussion. Venom....I haven't seen it, but it made over $800m, without even having Spiderman in it. Say what you will about it's quality, it was a massive success financially speaking. It's true that Sony missed the mark somewhat with the Amazing Spiderman movies, particularly the second, but even so, no mainline Spiderman movie has ever failed to cross $700m. It's not like Marvel stepped in and turned a complete nothing franchise into a winner here. So for Disney to think they deserve not only to get 50% of each movie they're directly involved in (they got 5% and merchandising rights under the old agreement), but also 50% of movies that Sony make independently of them in their Spider Verse or whatever…..that's just absurd. Sony absolutely has no need to let themselves get strong armed into such a deal. They can make money with Spiderman just fine on their own.

Rage is rage, so don't be surprised if Marvel Avengers is suddenly only Xbox and PC.

They could be betting that more anger will go at Disney than them.....or if Disney has thinner skin. 

Well, Raimi's first two films and Spider-verse are better than Homecoming and Far From Home. They don't need Disney to succeed with the character, but they could just as likely faceplant, too. Regardless, I'm sure this is disappointing for MCU fans.

I didn't even want to bring up Star Wars. I mean yeah, the prequels were....worse than I thought they were initially. I had no desire to see them again before TFA and TLJ. But oooh boy, those 2 are trash. Disney stink was beginning to waft over the most recent MCU movies. I can't even express how much I though Spider-Man Homecoming sucked. I almost stopped right there, but watched GOTG 2 then Infinity War, both of which I liked well enough, especially GOTG 2. Anyway, I came out swinging because it I don't like Disney. I should have kept out of it, because there's lots of MCU fans who don't appreciate negative comments in a thread like this.

On the bright side, at least Tom Hardy (Venom) and Spiderman can be a thing now.

I'm very amused at the amount of people in this thread who think that Spider-man never experienced success at the cinema until he was part of the MCU.
