Plot

In the year 2099, Alchemax scientist Walker Sloan seeks to gain power and fortune by traveling back in time to the present day in order to use his knowledge of future technology to found Alchemax much earlier in time.[7] This causes the future of 2099 to change to a dystopia where Alchemax rules the world with an iron fist. Miguel O'Hara / Spider-Man 2099 is aware of the plan and finds out that Sloan's actions are not only responsible for the changes in the timeline but will also cause the death of Peter Parker / Spider-Man at the hands of a brainwashed Anti-Venom. Miguel warns Peter of the impending danger, and both Spider-Men must work together across time to save the future and Peter Parker's life.[8]

Illegitimate gamers on illegitimate platforms have been extremely disappointed to hear the news that they will not be able to reenact the life of a spider.[22]

Controversy

The title will not be released onto the OnLive platform as the game developers feel that OnLive gamers are not "legitimate".[23][24]. At this time no apology has been given from the official Hero-HQ Facebook page, whilst the official Spider-man: The Edge of Time Facebook has been edited to have all OnLive references or negative comments removed so that the developers can feel as though the grass is green on both sides of the fence.

OnLive is said to be receiving legitimacy certification from the masters themselves, TheLegitimacyPolice AKA Hero HQ in 2013. This has been rumoured to come at a cost of $1,500,000 to OnLive. However, following this the platform will be officially certified legitimate in time for Spider-Man: Closer to The Edge of Time (planned for 2014TBC).

After the Facebook page in question was Temporarily closed all offending material relating to Onlive was removed including the original statement proclaiming Onlive was not for "Legitimate gamers".
