Spider-Man Day swung into action, putting the spotlight on Insomniac Games in celebrating the beloved web-slinger along with the passionate community of its supporters. The studio behind the critically acclaimed Spider-Man games shared an appreciative sort of message with the fans, thanking them for their support, but a few bad eggs thought their day was anything but celebratory.
Insomniac Games tweeted to the gamers: “Happy Spider-Man Day! 🕷️🕸️🤟 An honor to hear so many people today mention our studio alongside their favorite Spider-Man memories. Your kindness is truly appreciated, #InsomGamesCommunity! As always, #BeGreaterTogether. 🤜💥🤛”
The replies flooded with support from gamers shouting out: “HAPPY SPIDERMAN DAY 🔥🔥,” with some thanking the devs “for the great games,” yet plenty chose not to celebrate. Some even bashed Spider-Man 2 with “mid,” or went so far as to outright state the studio “ruined” the sequel. One more pungent response read: “Damn that’s crazy because as far as I’m concerned this shit is the worst memories I have with spider-man.” Oof.
That was only a beginning. Then Xbox users dropped: “Now Xbox gets to experience it :),” throwing a marker for rumored (or hopeful) instances in which Insomniac’s Spider-Man titles might eventually swing into the Microsoft domain, while the PC community roared for fixes on “buggy PC port of Spider-Man 2,” mixed with ardent pleas for DLC announcements (“Shut up and drop them DLCs you clowns”).
The wildcards surfaced alongside. One suddenly shouted: “Add the new suit,” while another just went off midway, claiming that a non-existent game “DROPPING TOMORROW TRUST ME BRO.” Typical Twitter pandemonium.
Among all that noise, some moments of clarity arose. One player admitted: “Although Spiderman 2 wasn’t the best story I can’t lie yall did great overall.” Another wondered: “Please mamas when is wolverine?”—because yeah, Insomniac’s Wolverine is still MIA.
Let me tell you, never could we end without the Spanish-speaking crowd stepping in. A response goes along the lines of, “You let die what could have been one of the best games of the decade 😔.” Harsh, but hey—deeply passionate.
So, what say you? Spider-Man Day delivered with love, salt, memes, and a heck of a lot of demands. Insomniac Games continue to be a very relevant part of the Spider-Man legacy, but with great power comes great… you know the rest. Could all be excitement about updates or some slow burn of resentment over Spider-Man 2, but for sure, these conversations are not ending anytime soon.
Now, about that Wolverine game…
