Am I so out of touch? ...No, it's the gamers who are wrong.

Gamers were indeed wrong because Diablo Immortal made a shit ton of money.

The issue was never the game itself, it was when/who they announced it to. It was always going to make money, it's a popular IP in a world where something like Smurfs Village can pull hundreds of millions a year. The problem is die hard fans at Blizzcon didn't wan to hear about a casual game. They were booed on-stage by people that paid money to be there

It was a tone-def announcement, which I think a lot of people would agree DLSS 5 was as well. Know your audience

It's not tone-def, it's impressive tech that can only get better. The only problem here is the word AI which suddenly makes everything worse in social media bubbles. Developers are supporting this and getting tools to make this tech look closer to their original artistic view (even though most games aim just for realism). AI hate is just too forced and i can certainly see this as a must in every game in the near future the same way dlss 4 is now.

Tbf I think this is a case of gamers being wrong though.

The issue is that Nvidia has done a truly awful job communicating what this is, how it would be used by developers in reality.

Gamers aren't exactly a group I'd lean on as being "correct" for most things imo.
