This program goes beyond branding efforts, according to the report[1] the partner program includes: - high-effort engineering engagements - early tech engagement - launch partner status - game bundling - sales rebate programs - social media and PR support - marketing reports - Marketing Development Funds (MDF) Conditionally including MDF as part of this program is behavior similar to what caused the government action against Intel by the FTC: "The FTC settlement applies to Central Processing Units, Graphics Processing Units and chipsets and prohibits Intel from using threats, bundled prices, or other offers to exclude or hamper competition or otherwise unreasonably inhibit the sale of competitive CPUs or GPUs. The settlement also prohibits Intel from deceiving computer manufacturers about the performance of non-Intel CPUs or GPUs."[2] 1: https://www.hardocp.com/article/2018/03/08/geforce_partner_program_impacts_consumer_choice/ https://www.hardocp.com/article/2018/03/08/geforce_partner_p... 2: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2010/08/ftc-settles-charges-anticompetitive-conduct-against-intel https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2010/08/ftc-s...
