Days before its release, the PC version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is generating significant controversy due to the absence of marketing efforts, the lack of available pre-orders, and undisclosed system requirements. These factors have left the gaming community puzzled and eager for more information.
Sony's recent strategy has been to reduce the exclusivity period of their titles on PlayStation before porting them to PC, a move that has previously stirred discontent among console enthusiasts. However, disappointing sales figures from titles like Final Fantasy 16 might be prompting Sony to reassess their approach to simultaneous releases across platforms.
The announcement of the PC version of Spider-Man 2 came earlier than usual, fueling speculation about Sony's intentions to possibly launch their exclusives on both PlayStation and PC concurrently. This shift has sparked backlash from PlayStation loyalists who fear it dilutes the exclusivity and appeal of their preferred platform.
Moreover, the regional lock-in through PSN adds another layer of complexity and frustration for players trying to purchase the game, further impacting sales negatively.
The future of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC remains uncertain. The absence of pre-orders and system requirements hints at a potential delay in the game's release. Speculation suggests that Sony might postpone the launch by several months to refine their strategy or enhance the PC port.
