Fans of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 are not happy with the game taking home no accolades at the Game Awards, despite having seven nominations.
The latest game in Insomniac’s superhero series was released in October to positive reviews and much love from its fans and community.
Naturally, Spider-Man 2 was acknowledged quite a bit when the nominations for this year’s Game Awards were released, with the game netting a total of seven nominations, including Game of the Year.
However, when the show ended, many fans were left disappointed when the team behind the game didn’t get a single award.

Y’all was robbed of everything

Some people even took to referencing everyone’s favorite Spider-Man 3 meme, Bully Maguire, to talk about their feelings about the whole thing.
However, there were some users who were a little more understanding of the game’s competition in the awards. One fan spoke their mind, saying, “Great game, but you are going head to head against games like Baldur’s Gate.”
Spider-Man 2 did face some stiff competition, with games like Baldur’s Gate 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Both of these games have been heralded as some of the best games ever, not just of the year.
For Insomniac’s part, they were very grateful and humble with their own post: “Spider-Man 2 fans are in disbelief at lack of Game Awards trips!”
