This is going to the be the mod that they use to try and coax us back towards paid mods (that Bethesda get a cut of) isn't it?

By charging for a mod, you're setting up a precedent, not a good one. Defend it all you like, still scummy. I'd gladly donate money to someone doing fine work for free like the people that made reshade or flawless widescreen or the thousands of other modders that fixed Bethesda's games.

It's the kind of precedent that Bethesda and Microsoft would love to set, especially judging by their past behaviour.

Do you think you need DLSS with a 4090 to run a game made to run on the Series S?

lol nahhh, i've never suggested anything like that, merely that its fucked up they did this deal with AMD

Baldurs Gate 3 could use it in those CPU heavy areas like the city. The Frame Generation mod served me well in Jedi Survivor. The game is damn near unplayable with raytracing without it. Very CPU limited in scenes.

I turned ray tracing off. I didn't notice enough of a difference for the performance cost.

By that stupid logic every mod should be paid. Lemme know how that would work out.

Same way it works for literally every other good on the planet? Does the customer find it valuable? Yes? Buy. No? Don't buy. Revolutionary, huh?

Unless you live on other planets not all goods are paid. Also:

I like where this discussion has gone. This shouldn't be a thing we're paying for regardless of welcoming it. I won't be paying, that's for sure. It's just going to make people want to get it free elsewhere.

Then why would you assume all mods would be paid?

And yeah I read your other comment, the one stating you'd happily pay for mods, lmao.

In this particular case I think it would be nice if the developer added it, but I was talking more about content with custom assets, writing, voice acting, etc.

Ah so they are going to try and reintroduce paid mods via this game.

Good to know.

You only play F2P games?

No.

Got nothing to do with what I said either. But please continue with the pre-emptive defence/PR. It's quite intriguing.

 

[Slicker than your average]

I'm not even sure why amd even sponsors games like this. Nobody is going to go out and buy an AMD GPU just because AMD is slapped onto the box or splash screen.

Nobody really needs to defend the concept of value decisions. You're weird.

I turned ray tracing off. I didn't notice enough of a difference for the performance cost.

It was a miniscule difference but the frame generation afforded me to ability to use it. It's a good looking game.

But yet, here you are.

 

[StereoVsn]

All I can say is, is fuck AMD.

Well, also fuck Microsoft. They didn't need additional money and not like AMD wouldn't help with the game either way.
