    This isn’t anything new, there’s some community software locked behind paywalls like patreon already. Doesn’t mean we have to like it though.

    Then again, DLSS is an nvidia product, so there’s a legal issue here I think.

      DLSS is free to redistribute. https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/nvidia-rtx-sdks-license-23jan2023pdf#:~:text=Further%2C the DLSS SDK and,DLSS SDK and NGX SDK.

      Unless they go crazy like oracle/Java devs are encouraged to use it.

      Nah it’s free to use tech, but yes the dev is indeed still charging for something that they themselves could have to pay for but don’t.

      Only the mod dev gets to make money, not any of the hundreds of people (if not more) working on the base game.

      Come on man it’s fine, charge the little guy, big guy make more money. It’s simple /s
