Also because you can always lower settings or throw better hardware at the problem on PC so even a badly optimized port should eventually run acceptably. But if you fuck it up on console, you get Cyberpunk on the PS4 and have to spend a ridiculous amount of time and money to make it work.

And this is Bethesda we are talking about, at this point I wouldn’t be surprised if the PC versions are designed from the get got under the expectation that the modding scene will come to the rescue and fix everything for them no matter how terrible their work is.

DLSS doesn’t run on older nVidia hardware either as it’s designed to utilize the raytracing and tensor cores of the RTX series. I recall reading somewhere that while it could technically be made to run without them, without the specific cores optimized to do the calculations required it would run terribly. Then again it might just be a blatant lie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
FSR on the other hand is designed to run on standard GPU hardware and seeing as the tech is open source they can’t exactly hide any code that would break compatibility with nVidia.

The first Fallout barely had anything, but Fallout 2 sure is something else having specific perks, traits and statistics about sex, a bunch of people you can have sex with and some you can get pregnant, and you can work as a prostitute or a porn actor. Or force some of your companions to do so.

That’s how denuvo is supposed to be used, doesn’t mean it is how publishers do use it. The moment the game is cracked denuvo stops being useful. Doom Eternal actually launched with a drm free exe as mistake in the first place so it’s never been very useful :p

For missing the FOV option, most of the time it’s some boneheaded decision to keep the console and PC games identical, as the console versions are optimized to handle exactly the amount of stuff that could be on the screen at once with the default FOV. There really is no real reason not to add it in the PC version - quite a few games do have a disclaimer akin to “If you increase the FOV, you might see graphical glitches”, but that’s fine.
As for the super ultrawide there is an actual obstacle, the UI. You often can’t use the same one as you either have them horribly stretched, sitting in the middle kinda blocking your view or spread uselessly all the way at the edges. So someone has to actually do some work to make it work.

As an example, here’s Starfield super ultrawide comparison between the default FOV and 120 degree FOV. You can imagine the performance cost and possible visual glitches you might get from doing that.

The only two decent ones with that Wipeout feel that I know are GRiP and Redout.

Usually they don’t. Something like Horizon Forbidden West credits almost 3500 people even though Guerilla Game has less than 500 employees, most of the rest is absolutely massive bloat from different outsourced teams and Sony departments - like the “Head of Opportunity Markets Business Operations Tim Stokes from Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.: Global Business Operations” was undoubtedly very important for the development of the game.

As for Baldurs Gate 3, Larian Studios currently has 450 employees in 6 different locations, so they are actually around the same size as Guerilla. I wouldn’t be surprised if the credits end up being well above a thousand people (D:OS2 has around 500 credits even though Larian back then had only 130 people).

Youtube knows I have subscribed to 515 channels, I have liked 2364 videos and favourited 685. It already floods the recommended videos with others based on “Users who follow<creator Y> enjoy videos of <creator X>”.
They for sure do not require my watch history to be able to recommend videos to me.

Model X is called that because he wanted the models to spell SEXY - but Ford still owns “Model E” so he had to go with S3XY instead.
