People should just be happy the game is getting released for the Xbox at all.

Exclusives exist.

Console Exclusive games.
Console Exclusive content.
Store exclusive book chapters.
Country exclusive movies.

People werent even expecting Spider-Man playable before were they? Its the same game people thought it was last week but some people get like an extra hour non-core experience.

If you cared *that* much about Spider-Man to be outraged you should have a PS system anyway to play his entire game that was amazing.

Is it just a timed exclusive or permanent? (cause I know Sony owns the film IP rights)

If anything, Square/Marvel should just make another character (Black Panther?) XBoX/PC exclusive...

It hasnt been announced to be time exclusive. I get being a bit annoyed about the situation, but its a small amount of additional content.

Each version having an exclusive character could be cool, seems like it would resolve the issue (though not really because people will view any exclusive an inferior to Spider-Man).

Some folk guessed but that's it.

Given Sony have a exclusive Spider-Man game and a PS5 one coming out this year it's not a surprise that they would want Spider-Man to be exclusive to the PS4 version of Avengers. It sucks for Xbox and PC players but that's just how it is. Also this is free content too. All content updates for this game will be free.

I'll probably pick up this game now that I've learned you don't need to play co-op to play any of the content as the games makes up your team of A.I partners if you don't have any. They also said the single player story is 12-30 hours long so that gives me hope. I'll perhaps try the open beta once that hits next week(on PS4) before I decide.

I feel like 70-80-% of marvel characters have belonged to either The Avengers or The X-Men.

I was more looking for context to the original announcement, but whatever. Some of the reactions are silly, but others -- like the one linking to Forbes -- has some good points, although even the Forbes article was more griping than anything.

And honestly, whenever anything happens anywhere, Reddit whines about something.

Even Venom?!

He has been an Avenger before, but never for long. I guess he's one in the MCU though.

Because most popular heroes will eventually make it onto the Avengers. The X-Men is different because they generally have a mutant requirement (which is why Spider-Man was turned down when he applied). As crazy as it seems, the Fantastic Four (and its rebrands) has a similar thing going and, broadly speaking, it's easier to get on the Fantastic Four than in the X-Men. After all, Spider-Man (who was refused the first time he tried to join) was eventually a Fantastic Four member for a while (although that might have just been when it was called the Future Foundation)

The Avengers is pretty much Marvel's only major team with an open roster. Compare that to DC which has the Justice League -- where, again, almost every major hero has either joined or been in an offshoot/branch -- but also has some smaller things like the JSA, as well as a ton of youth teams that you don't really see in Marvel at all. And, of course, DC is notable for having multiple villains teams with absurdly huge rosters. One team basically just left out Lex Luthor* and Joker.

(*Although it was led by a parallel Earth's version of Lex Luthor)
