Because Bethesda Game Studios titles have been Day One PC releases for the entire existence of them as a development studio.
Or because Microsoft makes Windows and wants to make their PC titles feel like first-class titles.
Or because it's a AAA game releasing in 2023 and Deathloop by their child studio added DLSS to the game a month after release in 2021, so they have knowledge in the organization already on how to implement it.
This site is PS heavy. There's been a lot of discourse on Twitter. But I doubt the backlash would ever reach the heights that PS and Nintendo received because MS offers some BC compared to the zero BC offered by competitors.
The backlash didn't stop Nintendo. Maybe Sony would've followed through with their closure if they announced it like Microsoft a year ahead of schedule instead of only five months.
Still open after fan backlash.
... Larian made a CRPG (Computer RPG) that spent three years in early access and still launched without a feature that would benefit 60-70% of Computer gamers.
They especially don't deserve a pass. FSR2 would also greatly improve visuals on consoles.
How is this even a rumor that could get approved? The McFarlane URL points to an action figure page, the Credit Url references a vague statement from a month ago that doesn't suggest any one title nor do they themselves put Call of Duty in the headline.
Apparently the Steam Hardware Survey only has like a 10% share of GPUs on AMD. Even if that's off and it's 20%, that's still the loser of the market using their influence to diminish the value of the market leader.
AMD even launched FSR2 with marketing that it shares the same inputs as DLSS - implement one and you've basically got the framework down for the other. DLSS is a free plug-in available for Unreal Engine. It's disingenuous to advertise it that ...
I wonder what happened to Sully; I miss seeing his enthusiasm for PSVR in articles like these.
It's been stated that they were partnered with AMD; they never once said "no DLSS" but... As research showed, virtually no AMD-sponsored games include DLSS support.
AMD then declines to say they prevent DLSS from their sponsored titles, even when Unreal titles like Jedi Survivor exclude it *when DLSS support can be added by a free plug-in*.
If there's any news, it's how awful AMD and the companies that get sponsored by them are to PC...
@Myers
Spot on. I laughed when he said "It’s typical fake outcry" in the Diablo article. Who would know better, right?
I played D4 last night and I guess I didn't notice these ads at all. Because they appear when you log in, only once, and can be closed with a single press of B, I pressed B and moved on with my life before even reading it.
... Bigger issue with the game is Act 1 putting me to sleep. The grey tones and humming music, I can't play more than a half hour without feeling like a grumpy old man in need of a recliner.

I like Game Pass but it's really not fair to criticize the premium PS experiences for having less "uptake"
For one, HiFi Rush is available on the 22 million Xbox Series units, and the hundred/hundreds of millions of Windows PCs.
For two, it's available for instant play for 25 million of those 100+ million players, and only hit 3 million. At *best* their real uptake is 3%, and that's being extremely generous co...
I'm sure you have an Xbox 360 now, just for this comment thread. Just like you're sure I'm a typical Xbox fan (which is totally why I got my PS4 and 5 before I got a One or Series).
But nah, queens first, Flakey
Possibly Xenoblade, which is Nintendo.
... Also my phone wants to autocorrect to a "XenoVerse", is that another Xenofranchise?
Ah so you're in an Xbox-related article for no reason but to stir crap that doesn't impact you. K
Says the guy that doesn't even have an Xbox.
Oh man such a good release schedule and so much diversity. There really is something for everyone just in your list alone.
Sci-Fi RPG, CRPG, Race Sim, Open World Character Action/Adventure, 2D Side Scroller, another Pokemon game with horrible graphics, Closed World Action/Adventure, Stealth Retro Collection, Military FPS, and Alan Wake 2's survival horror.
Remember when Sony enabled PS3 BC on PS4/PS5?
... Oh right.
Nevermind that Nintendo shut the 2012 Wii U store in early 2023 (which so far seems completely forgotten already), let's play whataboutisms!
"back in the 360 days when verbal diarrhea was expected when playing an MP game"
Huh and then the playerbase moved to PS4 away from Xbox Live's cesspool, while public open chats were taken out of more and more games without backlash.
Maybe verbal diarrhea isn't the selling point the 2008 version of yourself thought it was.
MS Brazil knows the Xbox Series sales numbers... word definitely wasn't supposed to be out for that
Hypocritical in the sense of: Head of Platform issuing statements that run contrary to what the Platform chooses to do.
An equivalent to Phil being hypocritical here (believing in preservation, then shutting down the only way to buy certain games) would be Jim Ryan believing in generations, then PS bringing 75% of their PS5 titles to PS4.
