It doesn't seem like AMD has any intention of continuing to develop this project. The reason it went open source in the first place is that AMD stopped funding this project. The dev and AMD had an agreement that he could open source the code once they stop working together. They stopped working together because AMD wanted out of a project that would benefit its products, and that was demonstrated to work well. The dev opened sourced the project as agreed. This was back in Feb this year.

Now AMD are trying to make the source code closed so no one can access it. They are not announcing a closed sourced version of this feature that they are developing themselves as far as I know. So this move is simply to remove code from the Internet that would allow their cards to work better in certain workloads when compared to their competitors. AMD should not have an incentive to do this. Nvidia has an incentive to get rid of this code, yes.

The implication is that AMD is doing this because they don't want to truly compete with Nvidia. And they don't want to compete with Nvidia because their CEO's don't really want to compete. This is not the first time AMD has simply chosen not to put pressure on Nvidia with AMD seemingly comfortable with their place.

And this is why the CEO of your company should not be a family relation to the CEO of your main rival company.

I really enjoyed Death's door, so I took a look at Titan Souls, and it seemed quite different in style and how it played. I wasn't sure they were similar enough experiences for one to inform me of the other, but if its good, I might give it a go then. Thank you.

Have you tried Titan Souls?

Somehow, it seems, a Zambian man carrying bags of what looked like gold was allowed to stroll through security and meet the newly arrived Egyptians on the plane.

Nobody appears to know who authorised this but, according to Zambian media reports, a few cash handouts had helped ease his path.

Bribes.

It's coming out on PC which supports modding and VR. It's not the same thing that's true but Starfield will receive heavy mod support and a decent VR experience is almost a given on PC eventually in my opinion.
