Shmerl pops up on every thread mentioning Vulkan/Apple spouting conspiracy theory nonsense that every design decision is some kind of evil plan to screw over open standards. Ignore him.
Keep up the great work, plenty of people really appreciate it.
- pjmlp 5y agoAnd keeps forgeting no one in the games industry, or console vendors for that matter, cares about his conspiracy theories.
- shmerl 5y agoLock-in proponents bring their kool aid. Not impressed. Gaming industry is pretty messed up when it comes to lock-in. Everyone is paying this tax.
- pjmlp 5y agoI am aware of my limitations as human being in this society, speak from actual work experience, and will use any tooling that I rant about when it is on the best interests of the customers, regardless of my personal agenda. Something to think about, or maybe not.
- glaze 5y agoYup, I doubt he has experience working in the games industry. Many engines support multiple graphics APIs and there's often only 1-2 employees implementing/maintaining them so speaking about vendor lock-in is not a strong argument.
- shmerl 5y agoHow is that a counter argument to anything? The need to support multiple APIs is not free. It's a tax on everything else.
