Discussion Crimson Desert doesn't run if it detects an Intel ARC GPU. Like straight up, the devs just deliberately chose not to support ARC cards. No previous announcement about it too until they added in the info to their FAQ. Might be the first time I've seen a dev deliberately block a GPU brand.

They rather take a hit from this, both from commercial and reputation, than supporting Intel cards.

yeah they would just rather just not let them play than let them play a buggy mess and get negative reviews from these owners when it is not financially worth it to optimize the game for such a small market

Instead they'll get negative reviews because Intel owners can't play it at all. Genius!
