They can do that without excluding features, Sony has done that with their AMD sponsored titles (The Last of Us, Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection). Hopefully Microsoft listens and does the same. Even if they don't though, FSR 2 is already in the game so a DLSS mod will most likely come soon after release.
It's true that DLSS is superior to FSR but i would be more sympathetic to your plea if you didn't sound like a butthurt fanboy who is not getting his way.
Yes it upsets me that a game I'm incredibly hyped for is going to likely be gimped at launch because of a sponsorship deal. I'm a fanboy of getting the best experience possible, thats why I play on PC.
You would not have batted an eye if it was Nvidia getting the sponsorship and blocking FSR for AMD cards. You are just whining because it affects you and nothing else.
It doesn't seem weird to me to hold both companies accountable. If anything, it seems weird to excuse either one because the other does it, too.
I have a 30 series card that can't use DLSS Frame Generation and I'm thinking about going back to AMD for my next card, so I still won't be able to use DLSS Frame Generation. Despite that, I agree with Mikeaveli. I want to see AMD compete by improving their software and hardware, not by crippling Nvidia's in popular games.
Except in CPUs they caught up due to performance, not through exclusivity practices. They just made better chips for price to performance. These are just an inconvenience to consumers. There is nothing special about AMD GPU's that will make them perform inherently better than Nvidia. You'll likely get better price to rasterization performance. But, having to gimp a game for performance to be competitive is a disservice, and is more likely to sour people on AMD, instead of getting people to switch. Just like how people will largely ignore the Epic Game store exclusivity deals rather than switch from Steam.
AMD are doing a lot more with FSR by having it available for new and old cards including Nvidia ones.
Paying to have your competitor's technology not incorporated in a game is not pushing your own technology. Yes, it's lame for Nvidia to make DLSS exclusive to their cards, but it's also lame for AMD to fight lameness with more lameness. It would've been lame if they'd made FSR exclusive to their cards, but they didn't, and you're applauding them for that. Making technology available to more users is a good thing. In this case, though, they're making Nvidia's technology unavailable to users, which is a bad thing. More choice is good. Less choice is bad. If you're OK with this, then you would have to be OK if Nvidia responded to it by paying developers to not include FSR in their games. I'd be upset with that, since it would affect me, so I can't just be OK with AMD doing it, even though it doesn't.
Nvidia have done the exact same thing for years. I am not really applauding AMD for what they are doing but it's just ironic to see Nvidia users suddenly cry foul when the shoe is on the other foot. They could care less when it did not affect them but suddenly when it does, then AMD are the worst. You can't just be against scumbag practices only when it is inconvenient which is exactly what is happening right now.
Nvidia has not done the exact same thing for years. Did you watch the video that I posted? The chart suggests that Nvidia hasn't blocked FSR support in the games that they've sponsored. Nvidia has done many other scummy things, though, and I've called them out on it, like in this post. Practices like that are part of why I've been leaning towards going back to AMD for my next card. I told you that and that this issue doesn't affect me now and likely won't affect me in the future, so I don't know why you're implying that I'm an Nvidia fanboy who's crying foul only now that it affects me. I'm actually doing as you advise and being against anti-consumer practices regardless of situation, rather than defending one on the grounds that the competition has done similarly.
You're right, In fact I would be even more excited for the game because an Nvidia sponsorship would mean there's a greater chance of the game including advanced RT features lol. I don't know why you would expect me to be upset about something that doesn't affect me. I don't care about the game being 30 FPS on console or the game not being on PS5 either. I care about this because AMD are going out of their way to make PC games worse.
Theres one problem with this logic. Nvidia sponsored titles exist, and they have FSR.
