A huge community exists online now for those seeking full completion of their favorite games, but it seems that not everybody can join in on the fun.
Saad from eXputer: "After the rise of Rocksteady and its fall with post-Suicide Squad, I'm worried about Marvel's Spider-Man suffering a similar fate."
Why? According to the well publicized Insomniac leaks they have a slew of plans for Spiderman including its sequel.
The sequel has had rumors that it could be sold piecemeal style or might be GaaS.

This is all coming from the leaks you mentioned. The problem is the industry is not doing well no matter how ill-informed people spin it on here when they see “sold 3 mill.” In those Sony leaks it showed the struggle to get ROI and they spend an insane amount of money to develop, which makes 0 sense to me when there’s not much to show for the increased development costs. Case in point would be Suicide Squad vs Arkham Knight.
I believe we’re in the middle of seeing a drastic change in media and distribution. This goes for movies, but more so for games and the industry is scrambling to figure out how to get more money out of consumers rather than stick to the “buy it once” to play it all.

These are things you need to pay attention to in order to know which direction the wind’s blowing with this sh*t storm. I was almost certain the GaaS initiative was killed when Jim was leaving, but now seeing the success of Helldivers 2… I’m thinking we’re in for a bumpy ride. I just don’t know what that looks like yet, but I don’t think it’s gonna be pretty.
Insomniac still has a good generation left in them before they get cannibalized by investors. It'll probably happen around the mid PS6 gen, when we see the beginning of the fall.
Huh with this article? If Sony and Insomniac want to abandoned the Spider-Man franchise and make a half baked, live service Spider-Man game, and miss the mark with their fans, then God bless’em!!!!
Seems unlikely when they abandoned the GaaS spiderverse game but are still going ahead with single player games like Wolverine and Spider-Man 3.

From the Amazing Spider-Man series to the most recent titles and DLCs, explore which Spider-Man game deserves to be ranked first and why.
Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Ultimate Spider-Man use to be my favorite until Insomniac games took over.
My favorite and still champion Spiderman PS2, followed by Marvels Spiderman2, then Miles Morales, followed by Marvels Spiderman, and finally Ultimate Spiderman.
I need to drag out my PS3 and try Web of Shadows, owned the game for years and years and never played.
Spider-Man (2000), Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions were all so good! I have fond memories playing them.
Everytime someone says difficulty is bad because it isolate disabled people I feel like it's an excuse because made by someone who wants to have their work done for them, you talk about how much you dislike something and then add a little "I'm talking for the sake of disabled people", also I think it's a bit disrespectful to think that disabled people can't do what others do, you have someone beating Malenia with his mouth or her feet!
Also after reading this article I feel like you don't want completion to be tied to everything in the game (which includes difficulty settings), it's called completion, yet you want to be one without actually completing it?
If an achievement or trophy is too much for me I simply don't do it. I can complete the game 100% without playing in Nightmare mode-if it's too hard for me (or will take too long like the witcher 3).
Then there is the BS achievement mentioned for FF9 jump rope which I will never waste my time on.
My OCD may act up if something is not complete, but my patience will over power my OCD with ridiculous tasks.
Having said all that, achievements have gotten more relaxed in the last few years as gamers tend to want to complete all of them (due to the platinum trophy), when before they were designed to give you a score-to make you want to try more games like in an arcade. So, focus more on relatively modern games and your OCD will suffer less.
Lots of hobbies are inaccessible. Do you think everyone has the steady hands to build ships in bottles?
But nobody is accusing ship bottling conventions of being exclusionary. That’s just a difficult hobby that nobody cares about.
Every hobby becomes exclusionary at some point. I didn’t feel welcomed to my school’s basketball team. If I wanted to play basketball, I had to join a recreational team.
Why erase a challenge for all at the benefit to a very, very few?
