While this was my initial thought as well, on a second thought that doesn't make too much sense. Well depending on whether you're wearing your tinfoil hat properly, you could say this is for testing the waters, but who the fsck would target their game at this? Write against naive Linux but use DirectX for the graphics? Just why? Sounds like the most stupid thing ever.
The CUDA support thing from other comments below seems the only sane use case so far, and in that case I don't really see the EEE either, but just good old "make shit work".
- skohan 6y agoEEE is incremental by nature. This represents a lever they could use to create an ecosystem of Linux software which only works on WSL. > but who the fsck would target their game at this? It doesn't have to be games. Maybe MS releases an ML visualization library for Linux which requires D3D. It's not so far fetched. Given the cumulative pain developers have had to deal with supporting IE6 over the years, I think it's warranted to be wary of this kind of thing.
- iforgotpassword 6y agoEh, still not convinced. Porting that to OpenGL is half a day of work. Like I said, you might say they're testing the waters, but I'm just not paranoid enough to scream EEE yet.
