People are still on this circlejerk? It's all social network speculations. Windows 8 is an awesome OS and there's nothing wrong with it.

Not to mention the Source engine is not ported to use recent tech.

OpenGL was easier 10 years ago. But compare DirectX10/11 to OpenGL now and come back to me. "Do you even write code?". Yes, I write recent, decent code. I'm not stuck in the past.

Yes, it is multiplatform, but from a developers perspective, DirectX gives a nice SDK with documentation, samples, debugging tools, detailed error messages, and produce a clean code. OpenGL is like a "here is the header files, sort yourself out".

Exactly. As a programmer who tried both, I confirm. DirectX development package is much better and easier. People referencing this one Valve blog page don't know anything on the subject.

Yes, old technology with brute force polygon run faster in OpenGL than DirectX9. Once you begin to use effects and shaders though, DX10/11 beats OpenGL by far.

Every graphic card released since about 10 years are fixed to a DirectX version. Every commercial games released wince about 10 years are fixed to a DirectX version. In which world are you living in?

On the contrary, DirectX10 had the best improvement of all versions. It changed everything. They ditched the fixed pipeline, ditched old "backward-compatibility" that was clobbering the system, connected directly to the Windows hardware layer, support multithreading, etc.

You guys just follow a circlejerk and don't know what you are talking about. DirectX development is much easier and well done than OpenGL.

When talking about video games, most people just keep remembering "back in the days" when they were playing. STOP IT. Games nowadays are better than ever, especially the point and click adventure genre. I hate it how they all go unnoticed and only a small subset of people try them.
