Re: Admirable..

And like I said, OpenGL diversifies your profile meaning a larger target audience since a Linux target pretty much means a PS4 target, and PS4 is currently leading over the Xbox One (where DX12 would be of benefit). Plus there'd the bonus of a multiplat Steam target.

Besides, it seems Khronos seems to be catching up. Bioshock Infinite is approaching performance parity with the Windows version on Linux, and Khronos and Apple don't seem to be taking the challenge of DX12 sitting with with plans for Vulkan (aka OpenGL Next) and Metal, respectively.
