New Blood's developers aren't mincing words when it comes to their latest game, Dusk. In a recent statement, the team expressed their discontent with Nvidia's DLSS 5 generative upscaling technology, citing concerns over its training data.

According to the developers, DLSS 5 has been trained on a dataset that includes Instagram models and Epstein memes. This has led to a situation where the technology is not only biased but also perpetuates harmful stereotypes.

The team at New Blood is calling for a boycott of Nvidia's products, citing the company's failure to address these concerns. They argue that the use of such training data is not only unethical but also undermines the integrity of the gaming industry.

The controversy surrounding DLSS 5 has sparked a heated debate within the gaming community, with some developers and players expressing their support for the boycott. Others, however, have defended Nvidia's technology, arguing that it is a necessary step forward in the development of more realistic graphics.

As the debate continues, one thing is clear: the gaming industry is at a crossroads. Will developers and players stand together to demand better from companies like Nvidia, or will they continue to turn a blind eye to the issues at hand?
