AMD has confirmed to us in writing that RDNA1/2 will still receive game optimizations AT THE SAME TIME as RDNA3/4. So this should put the issue to rest, and if this does end up being the case they probably should have just said this and cut the BS.

AMD should do a full reversal of their decision instead of releasing wishy-washy corporate speak (while still keeping RDNA2 in the inferior maintenance driver branch)
