  1. My beef with Nvidia, and all video card manufacturers generally, is the conspiracy they’re running that has held back the quality of video games, DELIBERATELY! They make it so you get all these extra details in your image rendering that console manufacturers HAVE TO be able to run in their games, or they just won’t work. But, by giving us lighting effects, dust particles in the air, DLSS, ray tracing, and so on, they deliberately prevent games from developing better architecture, bigger adventures, faster running games, so there can be NO COMPETITION from new developers! . . . We have to stick to playing games that are artificially arrested; that have never truly progressed, which could have been SO MUCH BETTER. Instead, we get lighting and detail effects, which is nice, but it’s all INSTEAD of the REAL developments that would give us groundbreaking games, like we used to get in the 1990’s and 2000’s. Remember the big jumps in graphics and what games were capable of offering back then? Remember the big jumps between consoles? The last change we had, from Xbox One and PS4 to Xbox X and PS5 has been a giant nothing burger and console sales reflect that. Only 50% of Sony’s market have transitioned from PS4 to PS5 world wide, because, “Why bother?” These consoles are expensive and there’s no great leap between generations anyway! They still make all of their newest games playable on the old systems anyway! Sooner or later. It’s strange to me that no one seems to be making videos on YouTube about THIS! Actually there are a few, but VERY few. But Nvidia can afford to spread cash around and, “lobby,” the leading gamer writers and video creators, right? YOUR GAMES are TRAPPED in this artificial bubble, where they’re preventing you from getting truly great games! And it’s all because Nvidia and their nearest competitors are all happy to hold back development to corner and monopolise the market. Yet, I think it’s only a question of time before a company that has the reach of a strong enough publisher and the ability to develop their own game engine will declare war on the monopoly and break the rules by releasing a super-great game with all the whistles and bells that this generation of consoles told us we’d be getting from the outset. And then there will be blood on the carpet of the Wall Street board rooms, as that game sweeps all the awards and sells by the millions world wide. And once someone proves it can be done, without relying on Nvidia tech, all bets are off.
