David... This is what you said
Actually it's currently unknown if FSR works on all cards capable of running Starfield. AFAIK FSR does not officially support cards pre GTX 1000 cards which would include GTX 900, 700, 600 cards and the same is likely true for AMD cards prior to a certain cutoff. I imagine you might say they are irrelevant because those cards don't meet the game requirements, but minimum requirements have not stopped me from playing BG3 (w/o FSR) using a GTX 780 classified.
Maybe this varies by game. I swear I used FSR in No Man's Sky on my GTX970 while my 6700XT was being repaired.
AMD, Bethesda and Microsoft refuse to comment. They're all held accountable, not just AMD. They all agreed to monies and NDAs.
It is, what it is...
These are a few and far in between games, and there is no exclusion here, we don't live in an absolute world, you won't fault a company for one lazy dev who implements one upscaler and forgets the rest. But you certainly hold the company responsible when every dev they deal with does this. Which is the case for AMD.
The AMD sponsored ones with DLSS (just 4 games) are partial deals, where AMD couldn't get the dev to support their features exclusively. The rest (the majoriry) are games with full exclusivity, where they forbid the develper from ever implementing the other upscalers, even after many months have passed. The refusal of AMD to answer the press about this issue is a clear sign for anyone that they are doing something fishy. Their refusal is unprecedented, in the past even when NVIDIA was implicated they always answered the press and made steps to rectify the situation or clear up the confusion and tell their story. AMD always did the same too. But what we have here is complete radio silence that is implicating enough.
XeSS may not be as performant as FSR2 but it is an option.
That's going to add on multiple 10's of hours of QA testing if they are even minimally thorough.There is only 30fps mode.
I'm pretty certain that nvidia wants both. It's just too good marketing to pass by either way.
Here I disagree (with the word "lazy").
A refusal to answer a question isn't an admission of guilt. The prison system in most 1st world countries would explode if that were the case.
AMD isn't on trial here, they are not under threat of imprisonment. The presumption of innocence is a fundamental principle in a democratic society because of the power of the state to unjustly rob someone of their freedom, corporations are not afforded due process to save them from the public noticing when they royally fuck up their marketing.

Yeah, I take that back, I understand priorities for developers are shifting all the time, especially now that the scope of making games became bigger and much harder to control.
That argument has died already, several developers have stated quite frankly, that implementing all 3 upscalers is a trivial matter, AMD themselves boasted in the past, that implementing FSR2 is a matter of ~2 days if the game has DLSS2 already, and it goes vise versa. Hell, a single modder is adding DLSS2 to FSR2 games in a heartbeat. He is doing it now for Starfield by the way.Inclusive to that is the time involved to QA each technology if the development house bothers to QA.
Intel is already on board with Streamline, AMD refused to join.
wasn't a controversy with nvidia and physx along the lines of Nvidia buying the company and then hobbling the cpu code so any of the effects would run extremely poorly vs on nvidia graphics cards.
