The developers of hit PS5 exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 say Miles Morales is the "main" Spider-Man from now on, which has caused some fans to speculate about what Insomniac may do with the inevitable Spider-Man 3.

If you listen, you can hear the gamers having a gamer moment and melting down

Oh, please, stop with the “gamer” generalizations. Every time there’s a “gamer” SNAFU it’s really a tiny minority of hyper-conservative wankers making a lot of noise. They make the death threats, they do the review bombing, they express the bigoted views. Gamers are a huge and diverse crowd. Don’t generalize the bad behavior of a handful of shitheads to the entire hobby group.

This is unironically a gamer moment.

I dunno, when it comes to the "gamer moment" meltdowns over this game, I haven't seen them related to Miles, he seems to be pretty well-liked. I've mainly seen them over MJ's design. Not saying I agree, just saying what I've observed.
