you can use FSR on Nvidia too but you can't use DLSS on AMD. Nvidia has been trying so hard to force a monopoly for decades now with these features they lock down to not only their hardware but specific series of them.

it's reminiscent of Microsoft making sure Linux can't use a wide range of software via directx and such, forcing people to resort to WINE and effectively becoming an operating system monopoly outside of apples gated garden

meanwhile AMD let's everyone use their software tech and people cry foul the moment they do 1/1000th of the anti competitive behavior Nvidia does in its sleep, I mean this is literally just sponsoring a game

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"

but it's cool to say fuck the other half entirely for the other 99% of games? because FSR1 isn't comparable to FSR2 or DLSS and that's what happens when a game is sponsored by NVIDIA, they don't allow FSR2. but a game dev could still add DLSS to an FSR2 sponsored title, but why do free labour for NVIDIA?

yeah it seems the landscaped changed and some DLSS titles have FSR2 now but they all got it months after DLSS, so it's basically an exclusivity period it seems

the rest of the article is kinda crap, they even admit its all speculation lol

think of the d4 cash shop as cosmetics that don't affect you and lets people who do want them fund your free DLC in the future of the game

personally I kinda like this model over the loot box filled nightmare it would have been if it released in 2017 ish and also over the DLC mess diablo 3 was
