Hot Take:

While Spidey's busy swinging between skyscrapers and tackling bad guys in New York, it seems the real-world villains are having a field day with poor Insomniac Games. Ransomware has struck, and not even Spider-Man's web could catch the data before it leaked faster than spoilers on a fan forum. Insomniac's latest saga might not be playable on PS5, but it's got all the drama of a blockbuster game release!
