  I know. I’m not saying that this is a sound decision, just that quote doesn’t really represent the current situation.

  You obviously need an AV1 hardware decoder to do hardware decoding of AV1. The GPUs you listed are the only ones with a builtin AV1 hardware decoder on the PC, though that list is also out of date. There are also multiple smartphone SoCs from Mediatek and Qualcomm that have an integrated AV1 hardware decoder. This is also not in any way an indicator for the level of hardware needed to do software decoding of AV1.

  I refuse to believe Sweeney on principle alone after all the bullshit he’s been peddling for years. Is 30% too big a fee for a digital distribution platform these days? Probably. Is 12% not really profitable, despite EGS only offering a fraction of the features? Probably. Has EGS accomplished anything for “the little guy” besides alienating customers through exclusivity deals and increasing big publisher margins? Not really. Is Sweeney trying to use public outrage and weird arguments around morality and market fairness to try and get himself into the position of the profitable middleman? Definitely.
