DirectX

when are they gonna finally give up on this bullshit and let everyone just use vulkan?

Never. Even if it's worse it gives Microsoft power. Such as keeping directX versions exclusive to certain Windows builds etc.

Dx12 performs just as good as Vulkan and dxvk has a very low overhead for it if you insist on running Vulkan instead (such as on Linux).

The real thing to complain about is why Apple aren’t allowing Vulkan. Apple Silicon have pretty strong GPUs but because they only run Apple Metal the performance in Vulkan, OpenGL, and DX translation layers are all complete shit. A lot of people who would buy MacBooks are avoiding them because while they’re fine for university and work stuff, you just can’t open up steam to play some vidya in the evening. It would be very little work to add Vulcan, and it would make these computers a lot more appealing.

DirectX is what allowed Microsoft to monopolize PC gaming for decades. It is the means by which they maintain their power in the gaming industry. I would not expect them to give it up as long as it remains profitable for them.

>directx is an overcomplicated bloated pile of trash that requires 500 lines of code to draw a fucking triangle!

OpenGL2 or GTFO.

>draw, swap, repeat

I just assume Apple is always being as useless and obstructive as normal and making the worst possible decisions for any purpose other than forcing iToddlers to stay in their shitty ecosystem, so I don't even think about addressing it. MS can at least be bullied into doing semi-sensible things these days by the industry as a whole.
Also nobody gives a shit whether macfags can play their games anyway so who cares what they're doing.

Never once they see they are getting assblasted by Vulkan they will start paying millions to game companies to use DX12 and they will lie about Vulkan capabilities and show paid benchmark and other shit

>I just assume Apple is always being as useless and obstructive as normal and making the worst possible decisions for any purpose other than forcing iToddlers to stay in their shitty ecosystem
this was literally the reason behind it, they were working on vulkan for a while then just immediately 180'd and deprecated OpenGL, OpenCL
i think they also banned the use of vulkan-to-metal translation layers for anything published on the app store

and then somehow still had enough clout within khronos to then go on and fuck up WebGPU
i don't know why they weren't just kicked out

apple should just be kicked out of basically every standards body that exists at this point

>requires 500 lines of code to draw a fucking triangle!
For decades people bitched DX was too high-level so they made DX12 lower level and now people are bitching it's too low-level

They won't. Microsoft wants people using their shit so it's harder to migrate away from their godawful shitty operating system. That being said it does seem like Vulkan is gaining ground: the performance is the same as or better than DirectX 12, and as much of a pain as Vulkan is to learn, DirectX 12 is actually even more so, in large part because of shitty Microsoft documentation and a shitty community.

this tbqh, don't let Apple have any say in anything, just force decisions on them like the based EU has been doing. They deserve it for being cunts.

>get in IP based legal dispute with standards body
>not immediately kicked off
what the fuck

zoomer nigger cattle NPC faggots,
Nobody used OpenCL despite crApple heavily pushing it for a decade
Nobody liked OpenGL, but crApple forces everyone in the 90s and 2000s to use it

Nobody liked OpenGL because MacOS's OpenGL support was always absolute shit, even before they removed it entirely.
Besides, industry seems to like Vulkan, which they also do not support.

kill yourself tim apple, no one cares what you think homo

They have next to zero interest on following any standard because that hurts their bottom line and allows the cattle to question their lord, if they do adopt them is in a half assed way for scumy marketing that pushes their reputation, for example they deliberately made a propietary iOS only messaging app that fallbacks to SMS for no reason when you talk with anyone else that doesn't have an iPhone instead of just straight up making it iOS only (you can, with some obscure setting a regular user will never find). Of course, burguers are an in between a fish and a monkey brain power wise, so they eat up that their walled garden is the only usable messaging app (they also are retarded enough to believe a PRISM member that provides both the hardware and honeypot would give a shit about their privacy moreso than other alternatives of all things).

this
you are a retard

how are you gonna force your vulcuck to 90s and 2000s dx8 and dx9 software exactly?

Don't act like these old ass games simply run directly in Windows without issue, because they don't.
t. remembers when you had to turn off aero and transparency to play StarCraft on Win7
Half of DX8/9 games run better in Wine, especially after Micro$oft gimped XP mode.

They do run without issue
