Digital foundry have multiple videos showing how they do their work and how there are imperfections with various aspects of it, especially when something like a resolution scaler is in place, as 34big things say their scale does bring the game down to "the lower one of 1920×1080" you know, that's 1080p so for periods of the analysis they can stop, take a frame and it will be exactly 1080p.

If a game is 4k on a menu or when nothing is happening but 1080p as soon as action begins then it's not the analyses fault to say that where they looked at the game it was 1080p, because it is, and crying legal action because a self professed flawed youtube channel talked badly about your game is fucking pathetic simple as that.

Yes it is the analyses fault which is why Digital Foundry issued an apology. "First of all, apologies to 34BigThings for the flak attracted by our article - we updated it once additional data from VGTech came in, which demonstrated that an error had been made".

And no I don't think considering legal action against a major news site that's presented false facts that could damage your business is "fucking pathetic".

Major News site? Digital foundry? you mean a youtube channel who's entire wikipedia entry is a single line on the Eurogamer page?

But back in the real world they're a youtube channel with a half a million subs that some people (a tiny minority of people, I would wager in the 4 figure mark) mistake to be a major news site, which I think is where this problem really comes from.
