In reply to f3ck4r. In order to "compete", you have to do equal, not better. And that "cross platform" argument, ain't a very good argument of Vulkan being better in the fist place. Unlike OpenGL, Vulkan doesn't support Mac, so in regards of Mac support, it is equal to DX12. Also your cross platform needs depends on your projects anyways. E.g., your mobile games may come to desktop, but not vice versa.

In reply to Daniel. I'm not getting paid. There is no need, it's the truth. You haven't heard of game mode and all of the other things like Mixed Reality VR that you need to have Windows 10 to use? I mean D3D 12 is a windows 10 thing.

Yeah right…
Are you a Microsoft fanboy or getting paid to say this kind of crap?

Vulkan is cross-platform
It works on both Linux and Windows, even older version that Windows 10, unlike DX 12.
So, either the devs are really stupid or they are bribed by Microsoft to use their vendor locked-in API.

In reply to TimothyStone. That's cute and all, but the future buys no games. If I release a game now I want sales now, and cutting off the Win 7 customers that exist NOW hands me a major loss of $$$ NOW.

Windows 7 is outdated and is the past and has no future for gaming. Windows 10 on the other hand is the way forward for gaming and actually has gaming features that makes gaming better (i.e. game mode).

DUH!?
