Link to official blog post (somehow still blames people for correctly understanding their first statements)

Of Note:

No dates were specified, No commitments made.
Day 1 game support was not promised, just individual game support.
They still plan on splitting the development for RDNA1 and RDNA2 from RDNA3 and RDNA4 development, giving only the latter support for new features.

Edit:

They have now, in definitive language, responded yes when questioned on if RDNA1, 2 would receive day 1 updates with their RDNA3, 4 brethren.
All previous points remain true, drivers will remain split with the former receiving no further feature updates.

You know exactly what nuance that "90%" means. I'm sure you're willing to dismiss many popular multiplayer games as all "not being worth it" but not most people. Thats of course on top of the other reasons people have.

Has nothing to do with my GPU. That's irrelevant to the points made.

We're talking about getting extended support after your GPU has been dropped on windows because it's obsolete. Of course it's relevant. You're just constructing a strawman
