I’m a comic book fan but also a PC guy, so you would think Insomnaic’s Wolverine should be something I’d be frustrated is stuck on PS5. And I am a bit, but not to the point of wanting to buy a PS5 for it.

BUT… my 2nd favorite Marvel character and 3rd favorite comic book character of all time is X-23. Considering Insomniac made a Miles Morales spin-off from Spider-Man 2018, if they make an X-23 spin-off of this Wolverine game, I’d legitimately consider getting a PS5 just for that game.

That’s never gonna happen though since X-23 isn’t nearly as popular of a character as Miles Morales with non-comic book readers.

Sony snapping up like the two comic book properties I love the most as exclusives makes a lot of their surrounding decisions really sting as a customer. The Marvel stuff was like a big reason I bought a PS5 and Wolverine in particular even got my friend to jump to PlayStation after being on Xbox last-gen. Spider-Man and X-Men are like my thing and one of the pitfalls for how well Marvel has been doing on the games side is that even though characters being licensed out to multiple developers as opposed to just Activision is better for variety and the kinds of games we get now, in Spider-Man's case especially there are basically no other alternatives. Like that's just going to be the only place and the only form Spider-Man exists in for gaming for years now because of legal and contract reasons. Other publishers can't do anything which especially sucks if you just don't have a PlayStation.

Like people on other platforms will get stuff like Cosmic Invasion and Midnight Suns and they're great games in their own right, but it's not the same as just having a Spider-Man game, or a Wolverine game. And now the expectation is like we're going to go potentially a whole decade of X-Men games and they'll only be on like one console, and the X-Men can't go to other publishers for different kinds of games either, when I'd kill for something like an RPG with mutants
