This allows for easier updates and potential future expansion of game-specific information without requiring changes to the main application. You can view the current list of blacklisted games here:
Have specific compatibility issues with updated DLSS versions
The games that are blacklisted can be disabled manually by clicking the "Manage Blacklist" button in the GUI. This will allow you to skip games for whatever reason.
