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.

Its not relevant at all, because people won't do this. You are just restating the initial point.

This still is ultimately a huge problem to the vast majority of GPU buyers.

Those this advice could possibly be relevant to are already on linux, because no one is switching operating systems purely because one piece of hardware is no longer updated.

The options are:

buy another newer GPU
use an OS where it's still supported

Your comment isn't going to change that
