What you are asking for may become a reality, but Vulkan is not something that any reasonable primetime product should have even considered trying to support until what, like... was it 2 months ago now or not yet?
The XBox is not a tech test platform. Neither are the mobile handsets.
Claiming this reality amounts to "sabotage" is somewhat absurd.

- KirinDave 11y agoI could use that exact logic to point to many other disingenuous working groups and say Vulkan is an attempt to create a new lock-in scheme under the guise of an open technology. It wouldn't be the first time. "Learn from history."
- shmerl 11y agoHow exactly is it lock-in if unlike MS it's cross platform and cross hardware? Just saying "it's the same logic" doesn't make it the same when it contradicts the facts.
- coldtea 11y agoBeing cross platform and cross hardware isn't contradictory to lock-in. Lock-in is about whether, after adopting technology X, it takes substantial effort to go to an alternative technology Y -- not about whether you can take X with you in a different platform/hardware.
