We believe in personalizing your gaming experience to fit your style, and with Cortex: Add-Ons, we're making this a reality. Whatever your game, we've got the add-ons.

We've launched this feature with five incredible partners to start and will be adding more in the coming weeks:
  • Buff.game: Earn real-life rewards by just playing your favorite games.
  • Voicemod.net: Adds a new layer of immersion with real-time voice changing and custom sound effects for every game and form of communication.
  • Powder.gg: AI powered gameplay clipping and sharing tool designed for streamers and gamers.
  • Epal.gg: A social hub for gamers around the world to team up, make friends, and have fun. Find your match to game or just chill.
  • Forged.gg: Unlock in-game content from Forge's partner games like cosmetics, item/character unlocks, virtual currency, and early beta access by playing games.

Each application has been carefully selected to ensure it meets the high standards of quality and innovation synonymous with Razer products.

Just what we need........more crappy bloatwarez from the king of crappy bloatwarez.....

p.A.s.S.s.S.s.S.............
 
Great, bloatware for an already resource hog app.


which AMD app does this remind you of?
Cortex is an optional modular extension to Synapse. You don't need to install it.
 
Loading your apps with bloat, definitely a great strategy. What a bunch of idiots.

Razer products are quite good, my Viper V2 Pro has been great over the past couple years, but this has me looking elsewhere for future upgrades.
 
this is known as bloatware.
Something that is not preinstalled that you can choose to install at a later date through selecting the option is bloatware?

OK.

Not how I understood the definition.

Since we are posting screenshots to prove a point here is mine. Pre-installed or not the addon will bloat the already shit software they have.
