Fans boycott PlayStation following Sony\u2019s Spider-Man controversy Sony \/ Marvel \/ Insomniac GamesThe fate of Spider-Man hangs in the balance after Sony and Disney refused to strike a deal over the character on August 22, and now gamers are boycotting PlayStation in an effort to hurt its parent company. Sony and Disney couldn\u2019t come to an agreement regarding the infamous superhero Spider-Man, meaning he will be absent from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) going forward unless something changes in the future. Fans are angry at Sony for the deal falling through, and some players are now claiming they\u2019ll be boycotting PlayStation altogether in an effort to hurt the company and make a stand. Fans are boycotting PlayStation While PlayStation 4 was home to the wildly-popular (and exclusive!) Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man game that released in September of last year, some fans no longer want to support the console after Sony\u2019s deal with Disney fell flat. The company announced the acquisition of the game\u2019s developer Insomniac Games on August 19, but it seems as though it could be the last Spider-Man title some players support, even if more are made.

Fans were not happy about the failed deal though, and vowed to boycott PlayStation completely going forward in a bid to hurt Sony\u2019s finances. \u201cXbox is officially better than PlayStation because they\u2019re not taking Spider-Man away from the MCU.
