Remember when Insomniac said Spider-Man "will never appear on PC"? Twitter sure does

At yesterday's State of Play, Sony revealed that both Spider-Man games are coming to PC later this 🦩year - which has led to the internet making a w♔hole lot of fun of an old tweet in which developer Insomniac asserted the game would be a PS4 exclusive foreve𝄹r.

In response to a since-deleted tweet from a fan back in June 2017, Spider-Man "will never appear on Xbox or PC. It's a permanent PS4 exclusive publisher [sic] by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sony Interactive Entertainment." At the time, of course, that stateme🌞nt was true, though technically it stopped being a PS4 exclusive when Spider-Man Remast🐈ered came to PS5.

Ei﷽ther way, fans are not letting the studio live𒀰 this down.

Spider-Man's exclusivity in April 2020, though this statement was perhaps a bit more ill-advised, coming, as it did, just a month after Sony announced its f🍎irst PC port with Horizon Zero Dawn.

Sony's been expanding its PC port efforts, bringing Days Gone and God of War to PC over the past year. In a recent report, the company said it intends to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:triple its PC gami☂ng revenue over the next year, and two Spider-Man games - plus the 澳洲幸运5开奖⛎号码历史查询:Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection - certainly get us closer to that future.

Exclusives have become a less integral part of the strategy for both Xbox and PlayStation, and as enjoyable as it is to make fun of old tweets, these ports make a lot of sense with how Sony is now doing busi🐭ness. And since the publisher has that the series has sold over 33 million units, it seems the games have already met more than enough success on🔯 their native platforms.

Now, about ways Spider-Man won't be exclusive: the PC versions are coming to both Steam and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Epic Games Store.
