Wtf is with this editorialized title and these comments? This isn’t generative AI using an LLM. Games that have been “upscaled” and “enhanced” in the past 10 years have likely gone through a similar process, just not in real time.

And instead of charging you another $90 to get it for an individual game you already own, you get it with a driver update for a bunch of games, on an opt-in basis.
