Digital Foundry Apologizes for Hasty DLSS 5 Video, Denounces Death Threats Received Post-Release
Digital Foundry Apologizes for DLSS 5 Video, Reveals Death Threats Digital Foundry has apologized for its video on DLSS 5, admitting the company should have waited before its release. Richard Leadbetter, head of Digital Foundry, acknowledged the video was rushed, and the team should have spent more time evaluating the technology and gathering diverse opinions. The video drew criticism that Digital Foundry did not adequately question NVIDIA's claims about DLSS 5. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has since called that criticism "totally off base." Among the critiques, game critic Alex Donaldson pointed out that DLSS 5 makes the 15-year-old character in Hogwarts Legacy appear older. Following the video's release, the Digital Foundry team received death threats. The company has stated unequivocally that such threats are unacceptable.
