Activision Blizzards VD Bobby Kotick har i et interview til Game Informer udtalt sig ret bramfrit omkring Spider-Man og de tilknyttede spil. Han siger blandt andet, ret direkte at Spider-Man som spil stinker:
"Our Spider-Man games have sucked for the last five years. They are bad games. They were poorly rated because they were bad games. We went away from what is Spider-Man. It's about web-slinging. If you don't do web-slinging right, what is the fantasy of Spider-Man?"
Måske er dette et tegn på bedre tider for licensspil, og en chance for at se Peter Parker og Co. modtage mere end middelmådige anmeldelser? Vi krydser fingre.
