      Sony deserves every bit of hate for what they’re trying to do.

      I’ll personally not give them another cent unless they revert that decision: No PS+, no other games, not watching any Sony movies and certainly not buying any of their hardware. Frankly even if they reverse their decision the damage to their brand is done and it would take time to regain the little trust I had.

      The people defending Sony in some of the comments are frankly embarrassing. I get that some people may prefer the convenience of buying digital, that’s fair. But the moment Sony PS Store is the only place where you can buy a game they have complete control over the price.

      You may not care about things like preservation, having a disc, buying/selling 2nd hand, gifting (including receiving gifts, which is great for Christmas/birthday), refunds, games disappearing from your collection, etc…but you’ll certainly care about the prices the moment the healthy competition from other stores/secondary market is gone.

      I am a huge Wolverine fan and loved the Spider-Man games. I don’t really want to give Sony my money for this game, and I don’t feel the same draw to play it as I did for Spider-Man.

      Not sure why but I don’t really care about it as much as I thought I would.

        For me, Insomniac’s design style is feeling outdated. I’ll be pumped for their next Spider-Man game because I love that character, I love their version of the character, and the games are fun to play at least in a tactile sense.

        This one does not have me convinced.
