It'd be nice, but ONLY if it means Venom and Carnage can be MCU villains. |
Disney would get everything Spider-Man. :)

How so?
| KLXVER said: I think that would be bad for Sony tbh. Either they would make only like 5 licensed games in that time or have most of their developers making licensed games. No TLOU, Horizon, God Of War, Uncharted etc for the next 15 years. |
For clarification:
EA's Star Wars games would become console exclusive to Playstation, just because it is such a huge franchise (Playstation/PC).
Insomniac's Spider-Man games .. wait, it already is exclusive to Playstation.
Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts games would become exlusive to Playstation.
Beside those three properties, Sony would get the licens rights for any Disney intellectual property within the gaming realm.
- So, if Sony wanted a Simpsons game, they could, in collaboration with Ubisoft (Ubisoft San Francisco, South Park: The Fractured but Whole), develop it exclusively for Playstation. Etc.
You get the idea. :)
| VGPolyglot said: So way would Disney agree to that, why would they want to get into that deal? |
To get full control of everything Marvel related. They aren't buying Sony anytime soon, so their only hope of regaining complete creative control of Spider-Man is to either buying the rights from Sony for a few billions or making this deal.

Because you're an Xbox or PC gamer?
| Smartie900 said: It would be great. Disney sucks at making games and Sony sucks at making Spider - Man movies. Seems like a beneficial trade off to me. |
Exactly
