I always got updates on the day one. Is this american thing (because americans buy phones modified by their carrier)?

Russia already has national root TLS certificate that's must installed on all devices (basically government-mandated MITM). The next step is to start severely throttling (and optionally blocking) TLS connections that don't use it. Some popular foreign sites like Google can remain functional by replacing their certificate at ISP level (all ISPs are already controlled by the government).

Maybe it's a corpo thing, how big is your company?

DLSS is upscaler. Game is rendered at lower resolution and then image is upscaled in a bit smarter way than simple "stretching".

In modern games it's more like finding 100 "Speak to X" entries in your journal and then futilely trying to remember what the fuck you are supposed to talk to them about because you acquired these quests 50 hours ago (often without any interaction from the player) and the game refuses to tell you. Bonus points when it's actually a delivery stage for a fetch quest and when you find this NPC they just say "thanks bro for helping me out" and that's it (last few BioWare games are especially guilty of that). And you have no idea what the hell did you do because it was so long ago.

Isn't this how series production works normally? If they wait until it airs then production will be interrupted for too long and they can't / don't want to do it for logistical/contract reasons or whatever. Real decision whether to continue happens when greenlighting season 3, based on season 1 reception.

I just enjoy that stuff lol. I only stopped my last Skyrim playthrough because I kept updating my mods and adding new ones and at the one point it just broke all of my saves. I took it as a sign to move on to other games.

It's shitty code bound. Sometimes no matter how powerful your hardware is, software will perform poorly because it just doesn't scale. Writing complex software like game so that it can fully utilize current hardware AND actually run faster with better CPU/GPU can become very difficult once a certain complexity threshold is reached. It's easy enough to do for a small linear game even if it has exceptional graphics, but an open world sandbox game like ones that Bethesda makes is a completely different story.

That doesn't mean that it's impossible of course - Bethesda absolutely should have made a better job, but it's by no means an easy task.
