It is a bit frustrating when everything you say is basically completely ignored and you just repeat the same nonsense arguments, sure. I'm not super upset, but it's annoying all the same.
Seeing your critical thinking skills and inability to form an honest argument, I'm going to say that you're going to ignore it because it is inconvenient and that's what you do.
That is not evidence of them paying off developers to get rid of DX12. That is NOT how things work man! lol Jesus christ. You cant just make up accusations and then say, "Well I dont have any evidence of them doing this specifically but they did something else, so they're probably doing this, too!"
That is exactly like accusing somebody of murder with the only 'evidence' being that they once stole a car. The analogy works, no matter how much you blindly dismiss it.
Chill bro, it is only an internet forum, no need to get annoyed over the "internet"
And no it is not evidence of them paying developers off (your charge against me...) but it shows that nvidia have tried to apply pressure so who knows what they might do or offer to other developers especially games that they "sponsor". You said that there was no rational discussion or merit on claims to suggest that nvidia pay companies to do said things but that shows that they already put "pressure" on developers, which could take various forms PS. I never specifically said that nvidia 'paying off developers', which seems to be your central charge at me
So question back at you, do you deny that nvidia have not applied pressure to game developers to exclude features that benefit their competition in the past?
As evidenced by this link:
http://www.dsogaming.com/news/oxide...to-disable-certain-settings-in-the-benchmark/
If you deny the veracity of the source in question, what is your evidence to counter this account by the developer privy to the facts? If you do not deny it, why are you excluding the possibility that nvidia may have applied 'pressure' in this specific instance? Propensity may not be definitive, but it is useful to highlight the possibility. Something that you seem to be conveniently ignoring.
And I'm afraid, stupid analogy is still stupid because you are comparing 2 different things, murder and theft. I am only being sceptical and high lighting the "possibility" that nvida has put "pressure" on developers to do said stuff as they did with oxide.
