To our Spidey fans: I totally appreciate your passion, but sending me threatening notes that you will “HUNT YOU DOWN AND WE WILL FIND YOU! YOU FIX THIS NOW!” isn’t cool. With what’s happening in today’s world, let’s be a force for good and be respectful of each other.

I’m sorry your team is dealing with this. I can’t wait for these games and millions of folks feel the same. Keep your heads up ❤️ — Brian Altano (@agentbizzle) October 3, 2020 Such a bizarre vocal minority. Game looks fab. Can't wait for the new Pete! — Mitch Dyer (@MitchyD) October 3, 2020 The same people doing that will be the ones who praise the new Peter Parker once the game releases. Just wait. — Ronny Pugs 🎃 ➐ (@RonnyPugs) October 3, 2020 This is happening to you? That is disgusting! No one who makes these kinds of threats should be playing the game, anyway, because they don't have the first clue about what Spider-Man is or what he stands for. SMH. — William Salyers🌹 (@wlsalyers) October 3, 2020 Sigh... sorry you have to deal with this crap, Bryan. — Dr. Uckmann (@Neil_Druckmann) October 3, 2020 Sadly this does not surprise me one bit. — Cliff Bleszinski (@therealcliffyb) October 3, 2020 Also Read | Jamie Foxx’s Electro To Return In Tom Holland's Spider-Man 3?
