The upcoming PC release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is generating considerable buzz, not for its marketing campaign, but for its conspicuous lack thereof. The absence of pre-orders and undisclosed system requirements have fueled speculation and controversy among gamers.

Sony's recent strategy of narrowing the release window between PlayStation and PC versions has already faced backlash from console loyalists. Poor sales of titles like Final Fantasy 16 might be prompting a reassessment of this approach.

The earlier-than-usual announcement of the PC port sparked rumors of a potential simultaneous release on both platforms. However, this prospect has angered some PlayStation fans, who view it as diminishing the exclusivity of their preferred console.

Further complicating matters is the PSN regional lock-in, which hinders purchases and frustrates players worldwide.

The future of Marvel's Spider-Man 2's PC launch remains unclear. The missing pre-orders and system specifications hint at a potential delay. Some believe Sony might postpone the release by several months to refine the PC port or adjust its overall PC strategy.
