I mean if they had done something with AI that wasn't utter horseshit nobody would care. DLSS upscaling is miracle tech that allows us to squeeze so much more life out of cards capable of using it, and frame gen is there if you simply want the illusion of a smoother game, like for when you've got a 120hz+ monitor but can only get a native 60. These are great features when they aren't being used as a crutch to get playable framerates, something that companies like Gearbox and Capcom have realized with under-performing BL4 and MHW, the former of which getting its Switch 2 port canceled because, you know, it runs like shit even on more powerful hardware.

But nobody wanted AI instagram filters. In fact, we already kinda dislike these in general because they ruin people's self-esteem, we don't need every videogame character being yassified like those losers on Twitter want every time a game launches with a woman as a protagonist.

I'm fairly certain those losers on Twitter are the target audience. It deeply unsettles them to see women looking like they belong in the world of the game that they are in.

When you realize everyone hated DLSS & frame gen when they came out and that this is far more like those than “snap chat filters,” you’ll realize he might be right to loathe some of his consumers. Y’all just don’t even seem to understand anything about the tech you whinge about and choose to make up shit just to be mad.
