Whatever you say but me and others are seeing things differently with gameworks than you are and how things are being used. If AMD manages to get the leg up on Nvidia (and they will with time) without demanding you to buy a new card every few months a new effect is crammed in then we'll see the better GPU manufacturer and one that knows where to put the actual power.

I don't buy new high end cards only to have a multiplat game with a few loaded fx to cripple my frames, that's completely illogical and anti consumer from my pov.

I honestly don't need all those, I'd rather trade for better quality of textures and settle for HBAO+ or even an AMD option that seems to work on both branded GPU's (and doesn't cost your very soul). You seem to want to kill your fps but I on the other hand don't, it's clear you and I come from very different pov's and lifestyles along with understandings.

For me I value having both because I paid to get both, not paid to get both but only get one and that's pretty much what I'm seeing from time to time. If I bought an 8gigs VRAM GPU for nearly 1k, I would damn well expect to get both and at the same time not having it drained thanks to last minute effects being thrown in to make it appear as if it's leagues apart from being a console port.

Is it wrong of Nvidia to promote GameWorks to sell their hardware ? 

The GTX 980 is not the end all be all, that goes to the Titan X and you don't see those owners getting up in arms about Nvidia's "sabatoging". How is it illogical to pay for a few frames for those effects ? If you don't like them you can turn them off just like how many PC gamers had to tone down settings for Crysis despite the fact that they owned the latest hardware too ... 

Having both comes down to whether or not the developer want to add an x effect. If you had to pick between two versions, one with the demanding graphical effect and the other without it which one would it be ?

Does the illusion of getting the best possible experience matter that much to you ? 

(I'd be really interested to see what CGI-Quality has to say about this but I ain't holding my breath since he's a mod.)
