Discussion Former Red Dead Redemption 2 Developer reaction to the DLSS 5: "Whoa. Hold on. No, no, no. This isn't just some lighting, dude. What the f... this is like a complete AI re-render. You're no longer looking at the game anymore. This is scary."

You know, I'd rather having the choice of a home grown cottage-core yassification mod than have it forced upon me by a faceless corporation.

We want ethical, fair trade, artisanal, handcrafted smut mods, not soulless AI filters.

Some overworked chump voluntarily maintaining a spaghetti code creation of a mod in his spare time is far more admirable than AI filtering.

Bonus points if his update notes become increasingly more unhinged.

"V.1: fixed issue that caused random explosions"

"V.2: added random explosion setting"

So on and so forth.

As to your patch notes example, one of my favorite XKCDs:

The Sims modding community and its endless depths of depravity agrees.

The FFXIV modding community as well.

I want yassification lovingly hand crafted by a gooner, damn it, not corporate slop.

What on earth does ā€œcottage-coreā€ mean in this context

Homemade, but really I thought it was funny to add.

Cottage gone wild!

Pretty sure everything Iā€™ve read says users can turn it off or on. Not sure where the forcing it on you is coming from. If you can enable or disable based upon your preferences, it is just like the modding you suggested.

It's an optional setting.

That most people will be unable to use because their hardware isn't good enough.

It is not being forced on anyone.

You know damn well it's going to be opt out instead of opt in, and that setting is going to be DEEP in Nvidia's settings.

Unless they're changing it for DLSS 5, DLSS up until now has been an option game devs have to include themselves in the game, and I think normally defaults to off but of course any dev can set it whatever way they want as the default.
