The upcoming PC release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is shrouded in mystery, sparking controversy among gamers. The absence of any marketing, pre-orders, or publicized system requirements has fueled speculation and anxiety.
Sony's previous strategy of shrinking the release window between PlayStation and PC versions, already met with resistance from console loyalists, may be undergoing a significant reevaluation. Factors such as the underperformance of Final Fantasy 16 might be influencing this shift.
The earlier-than-usual announcement of the PC version fueled rumors of a potential simultaneous release on both platforms. However, this has angered some PlayStation fans who value the platform's exclusivity.
Further complicating matters is the PSN regional lock-in, negatively affecting sales by creating a more cumbersome and frustrating purchasing experience for many players.
The situation remains fluid. The lack of pre-orders and system requirements hints at a potential delay. Some believe Sony may postpone the launch by several months to refine the PC port or overhaul its cross-platform release strategy.
