AMD claims there’s nothing stopping Bethesda adding DLSS to Starfield, even with AMD as the exclusive PC partner.

Hopefully they add DLSS 3 down the line. Not a fan of this trend of DLSS mods behind Patreon. It's going to be a must have for demanding mods in a year or 2.
They responded to this way too late and whomever took the decision to keep silent a couple of months ago isn't doing their job properly. All they had to do was say there's no contractual impediment to implement DLSS in their cross promoted games.
However, AMD is apparently in a situation where it's impossible to please everyone, and they chose to please the devs instead of their consumers (IMO a terrible decision regardless).
What would happen if AMD came out saying every one of those FSR2-only games could have implemented DLSS? All internet gamers with RTX cards (led by DF's Alex Battaglia) would be marching with their pitchforks on social media to harass the devs of those studios to get DLSS2 to work on their game.
As it is, AMD took the blame and the devs passed as if they were victims with no choice.

Yea.. sure AMD... then I wonder why Boundary removed DLSS and RT after it became an AMD sponsored title?.....
It's Bethesda dude. They never released a game without issues
True. Guess they're an easy scapegoat for AMD with this one
Because AMD demands for developers to prioritize FSR2 if said devs are taking money for the cross-promotion, and small dev houses won't be willing to provide QA and tech support for more than one upscaling tech.

Sure, AMD is lying about a legally binding contract. What a moron
Microsoft never lies then either too, right?
Didn't think that through did you dipshit..
And this is why I blocked him. Just completely not interested in actual discussion. Just ignore the astroturfers and they'll leave.
Can you two put each other on ignore and stop with the tennis match insults?
I did it to that scumbag user @Gamernyc78 and it has worked wonders for my stress levels.
The spokesperson isn't lying, he's just exaggerating the truth in a deceptive way. There's nothing stopping Bethesda from adding DLSS, after all it's not like AMD is holding a gun to their head and forcing them to accept this bag of cash in order to not put DLSS in. At any time they could stop receiving the bag of cash and put DLSS in. See how it works?
Well now it will be the devs getting harassed for not putting DLSS in their games, instead of AMD.
The two things I don't get is:
1) if there's no legal contract preventing dev houses from implementing DLSS, why the hell didn't AMD speak about it sooner when they were getting stomped over all social media for weeks?
2) If AMD stayed quiet to take the blame for the developers choosing not to implement DLSS (which was a terrible idea if true), why are they reversing this public stance now? It just looks like they got the worst part of both ends: got weeks/months worth of a PR nightmare, but in the end they exposed the devs anyway, crippling their relationships.

so funny how basement dwelling gamers make up controversies with zero proof and continue to believe in said made up controversies even after they were proven wrong. Sort of like conspiracy theorists. Nvidia fans have become a cult to their proprietary technologies. They should wonder why AMD is the only gpu vendor constantly making open source version of Nvidia's closed source technology
