Hoo boy. Not a good look AMD. It was scummy when nVidia did this, it’s scummy when you do it.

    I mean this is literally just sponsoring a game

    This usually means only FSR, no DLSS. What does it matter that FSR can be used on all hardware, if it’s the inferior technology? Let those who can use DLSS, and others FSR and XeSS.

    Since it’s your mom-and-pop multi-billion dollar company, it’s fine that they screw over consumers. They are not like the evil multi-billion dollar company from down the road.

      Keeping out a vendor-specific one in favor of a vendor-agnostic one seems actually positive to me. That vendor-specific “superiority” must be fought.

      I’m not interested in spending my energy on hating the underdog who makes their tech open so everyone can use it and works with 1/10 games when the bigger corporation trying to make a monopoly is working with 9/10 games and forcing out the other. Nvidia goes and tries to force third party card makers to change their AMD branding and nobody says shit but the moment AMD even just sponsors a game (they can still add DLSS if they wanted!) and suddenly its a problem and AMD is “just as bad” as nvidia. no, fuck that. fuck “but but but superior technology!!1”
