wrong sony only owns the film rights nothing else. Sony sold the merch rights back to Disney in 2011

My bad. Sony published the game, and thus owns the publishing rights to the game. In the end though, it just means that the game will never come to a non-Sony platform. Same relationship that Ratchet and Clank had. 

Ratchet and Clank is a first-party IP.  It belongs entirely to Sony.

Marvel's deal for Spider-Man probably goes through Sony, meaning it's a Sony game, and then Sony contracted Insomniac to work on it.  That means it goes a lot deeper than simple publishing rights, which can expire.
