The 1st ONE and it's DLC, it releasing on PC(hand me down) is SONY's decision and won't make close to what it made on PlayStations consoles.
Sony makes money off of Spider-Man merch as well.

Actually Disney came to them, that’s what insomniac stated, they were given the choice of any marvel ip for a game.

I doubt they, Disney, wants to go through what marvel did before the buyout…like how they can’t make a hulk movie. Which further backs the claim that Sony only owns the movie rights, or they’d would’ve made a game long before then.

As for merch, kinda doubt that, would see them push more game related stuff and if rhey do then it’s probably a small percentage. Sony had to pay to get Spider-Man exclusivity in Avengers with square.

If and when the time is up I’m sure Disney could pull a MLB/Star-Wars and license their IP out again.

I never said Disney didn't come to them.
You are mentioning Insomniac like it's a separate company but it's not as they are owned by Sony.

Sony makes money on any merch connected to the game and movies so not sure what you are doubting?
SONY allowed Disney to use SM after years of Marvel and than Disney begging them.
Don't think Disney would want to f*** that up by asking for the SM game license back plus nobody would make em more money with the license than Sony so it's silly talk from you.

They weren’t owned at the time, by Sony, but Disney may not have known that they were in the proctor buying them. The game came out in 18 but they weren’t bought till 19.

Don’t forget, activision made Spider-Man games that weren’t based on the movies. And Spider-Man is in several other games that marvel licenses out, mostly lego lol and none give credit (or mention/association) to Sony, unless it’s a version from the Spider-Man movies. Even Disneyland Spider-Man is different than the movie variant. I think there’s still issue with Spider-Man at Disney world, I think universal has those rights lol

As for the merch, I’m just going based off the Sony email leaks how they were getting a small percentage from merch

True, Sony allowed Disney to use Spider-Man in the MCU. We saw what happened to that when Sony pulled out, of the MCU. Tom Holland called up Sony to get back in it. Besides there was a huge uproar from fans when Sony pulled out cos they felt burned by how bad they did with the amazing Spider-Man and currently with morbius.

Tom Holland Says Sony Had ‘Wonderful Idea’ to Transition Spider-Man Out of MCU

Sony and Disney made a new agreement that allows Holland's Spider-Man to appear in another standalone and one non-standalone MCU movie.

How Insomniac's Spider-Man Came to Be - IGN Unfiltered - IGN

Marvel gave Insomniac the option to make a game based on any character they wanted.
www.ign.com www.ign.com

"Connie Booth, who is a great friend, and also one of our partners at Sony, was down at Insomniac," Price said, "and she said to me, one day, 'What would you think about working on a Marvel game?'" Price said his immediate reaction was "fairly neutral" and, as the studio had built a following on the back of original properties, he "hadn't really considered working on someone else's IP."

Once he bounced the idea off the other developers, however, he received overwhelmingly positive feedback. "The response I got was eye-opening for me," Price said, "The answer was, ‘Are you crazy? Of course we’re going to work on a Marvel game!'"Marvel wasn't interested in having Insomniac work around a movie or comic tie-in either, they wanted Insomniac to create their own version of a character, and Marvel was willing to let the developer take their pick. "[Marvel said] 'Look, we've got a lot of characters. Pick a character that you guys think works for you, and then we'd love to hear your take on it.'"

They are owned by Sony NOW so point is nill.
Activision has nothing to do with this conversation and yaw talk about moving goalposts.
But I'll handle this goalpost....
Activision doesn't own the movie license and it matters because Disney wants to use SM in it's terrible Marvel movies.

Nobody ever said the movie license is the same as the game.
BUT messing with Sony who is making them more money than anyother game publisher could/has with SM, who could take the SM property away which has breathed life into the stale movies and made them even more money is FOOLISH.

At some point they probably will be, not day one like Xbox though at least not for a long time. TLOU remake isn't even launching on PC the same date as PS5.
 
Day and date with PC will start this year or next year. No question. Day and date On PS+? Not anytime soon.

Not for first party studios. I believe their Strat is to let the main studio make and optimize their game on the console first and then let Nixxes take over the PC porting once the game has earned enough on the console end. This way, the developmental cycle is much more efficient since they don't have to co develop on different platforms at the same time and take up more resources and time than they need to like other platforms who may be developing for several platforms at once.

That’s the way it should be… I could be wrong, but they did have other devs do previous ports tho.

I am committed to them putting their first party games on PC day one starting this year or next. Slowly but surely. It will start with their new live service first party games. They will ween into it. They already announced the PC version of The Last of Us Part 1 for PS5. That means the PC version isn’t far behind compared to their previous PC releases. I think from there the window will narrow even more.

Remember when it was PC games never? Then it was PC games but previous gen only ports years later? Then it was PC ports but only 4 years later? And now we have 2 years later with Miles PS5. And now they are starting to announce PC versions of their new first party games at their shows.

Their live service first party games will get them going day and date. The media believes that as well.

Look at their trend. The writing is on the wall. Val is the only one here getting embarrassed by this trend as he backtracks like the troll he is.

Multiplayer games I can see it and maybe that's why Factions is taking so long. They have to spend more time and resources developing for both platforms enabling crossplay for PC/PS?

Single player not so much at this point.

Maybe next gen?

Yeah...I mean at one point we were told PS4/PS5 games were never going to PC. Well...here we are.

Returnal is coming to PC and that is SOLIDLY a PS5 game.

What a time to be a fanboy alive!
