...exactly. Which is why, unless you're given a license to re-impliment DirectX, it makes so much more sense to use Vulkan and it's DX9 through DX12 translation layer.
What am I missing here?
- troupo 2y agoYou're missing that people don't care about Vulkan at all: https://carette.xyz/posts/state_of_vulkan_2024/ https://carette.xyz/posts/state_of_vulkan_2024/ And the translation layer exists largely due to Valve business decisions, not because "community came together or something". This glorious amazing support didn't even really exist until 2018 (when it was launched with official support of 27 games) 1. Apple has never truly cared about gaming on the Mac 2. iOS only supports Metal, and Metal serves Apple extremely well 3. Apple's dropping of 32-bit apps and switching to M* chips has hurt gaming on Macs much more than any perceived harm from not supporting Vulkan.
