    Preach.

    It is the same argument they used to gatekeep souls games whenever someone suggested to add an easy mode for those who want to play the game but lack the skill to do so.

    The intent of the developer is a lot less important than the experience of the player.

    It is like a chef deciding how you are allowed to eat your steak.

      No, it’s like ordering a steak at a restaurant and then somebody from the kitchen supply company coming it once it hits your table and sprinkling a bunch of cinnamon you didn’t ask for all over it.

        More like if the option to have cinnamon is on the menu and everyone is pissed it exists for some reason.

          Because the cost of having that option has somehow both made the steak more expensive and the equipment to cook it more scarce.

            Oh I didn’t realize you were forced to buy a 5090 in order to not use dlss, til.

            Also DLSS runs locally off the gpu lmao so its not really contributing to the ram inflation issue overall.

                Its a tiny fraction of the problem, the issue is with datacenter buildout taking all the available supply, if it was dlss directly related we would have seen ram prices increasing much earlier then we did.

                  But this specific iteration of DLSS is deeply wrapped up in the AI hype machine which is directly related to the datacenter buildout. The reason 5 has been a hot button topic centers around that AI upscaling showcase which only exists because NVidia is deeply invested in AI. This is what I mean that nothing in is a vacuum.

                    But you’re combining two things that should be understood separately to have an accurate picture of what is happening.

                    All I’ve seen about 5 is people complaining about how it looks, “not the original artistic vision” or just generally mocking it as bad. (Which is a personal opinion not a hard fact)

                    Nothing is in a vacuum sure, but let’s take the “personal responsibility” discussion around greenhouse emissions as an example, yes ordinary people and their actions contribute, but the vast vast vast majority is NOT and focusing on the least impactful level is not going to move the needle when the bigger issue is things like private jets, corporations ignoring environmental regulation, etc.
