If Sony hadn't paid for this, then the only Spiderman games we would get would be the crappy Activision Spiderman games. Well guess what? I'll take a (hopefully) great exclusive over a crappy multiplat any day of the week. If all games were multiplat, but shit, that would be way worse than if all games were exclusive, but great. I'm not saying multiplat games are shit, but Spiderman games, and licensed games in general, rarely get the budget required to actually be good, so I say props to Sony for putting in the money required to make a good game. If a multiplat publisher had wanted to do so, there was nothing stopping them besides them not wanting it enough. So I'm not sure what you are complaining about. This game wouldn't have existed without Sony. Do you expect them to pay to make it, and say "ah fuck it, put it on the Xbox One and PC too"?

That's funny because I enjoyed those Activision Transformer games until they decided for the last title to replace High Moon studios with a shitty no name one, beforehand what they had going for TF was good, they could do the same for Spiderman as well.

They could, sure, but they haven't exactly put in a lot of effort into their past Spiderman efforts. Either way, they let their license expire, they could've renewed it if they wanted and made a high budget Spiderman. I doubt they had any intention to do that though, so I'm glad someone did so, wether it was Sony or someone else.

Not all multiplats are shit or terrible though, all games being exclusive to just one platform sounds like a totlarian nightmare to me, no choice at all but to obey and buy the one system, to you that sounds likely like a wet dream but to me it's far, far worse, it's like letting APple run the world and you having no say in the matter. 

Lol, now you're just putting words in my mouth. I never said all multiplats are shit or terrible. Heck, I specified "I'm not saying multiplats are shit". Strawman fallacy. You're assigning me opinions that I don't actually have. I didn't say I wanted all games to be exclusive, I just said that if I had to choose between a good exclusive, and a bad multiplat, I'd rather have the exclusive. If I had to choose between a bad exclusive and a good multiplat, I'd pick the multiplat.

Yeah props for Sony, which is why I'd give even more kudos if the other two had a chance to gather their own hero licenses and make their own high budget exclusive Marvel games, I'm sure we'd all be happy for that.

There's nothing stopping other publishers, including MS and Ninty, of doing so. So sure, why not? It's not like those Superheroes are getting used in any good games any way, so it wouldn't take anything away from anyone.

I'm not complaning at all, in fact I posed the idea of wanting the other of the big 3 to do exactly what Sony is doing, maybe on a bigger scale and aqcuire more heroes under their wing. With MS that would be a win win for Xbox and PC owners, two crwods getting to enjoy whatever licensed heroes they snatch up.

Sure, I don't see why not. If they want to, go for it.

I'd also love to see props given for people that pay to make a game happen, I'm hoping we'll see that with Roberts space industries game in due time. 

Haven't heard of that game but glad we agree.
