Its not exactly the same thing, AMD hardware is being gimped by devs that use Nvidia GameWorks and makes it very hard for AMD to proper optimize the game after release, but its the devs thats more at fault imo then NVidia since they dont have to use Nvidia GameWorks. But it would be more like if PS4 used AMD GPU and X1 used Nvidia GPU and we all know that the PS4 GPU is more powerful but since devs are developing using Nvidia GameWorks the games made using that runs much better on the X1 and the is nothing the devs themselfs or Sony can do after release to fix the problem that would make them kinda the same i guess. |
It is the exact same from a business standpoint. Developers are choosing to work together exclusively with one hardware manufacturer. Cooperating with developers and basically acquiring exclusive features is a legitimate practice. It existed for decades and so far has apparently not destroyed any industry.
The article only shows one perspective from the standpoint of an AMD executive. Of course he would say that it's bad for the industry. It's his job to say that. What he's not saying is why the developers chose NVIDIA over AMD. Which is a failing on his side. What he's also not mentioning are the exclusive deals and technologies they are using with developers on games that run significantly better on AMD than NVIDIA.
It's called competition and everyone is doing it. No need to call out the apocalypse.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
