Quoting: Sbrega82.....
It isn't a guarantee for success by any means, but it's one helluva nice opening. If Valve and the Khronos Group push it aggressively, it could end up taking a good chunk out of MS' gaming marketshare.

I think all, or at least a good part, in this forum hope in this results. Finger crossed. The times are mature and Linux too :)

Quoting: Renzatic GearThough if DX12 and Vulkan are as similar as people say, then it means that the entire industry is effectively running under one API, with only a few minor tweaks having to be considered for platform.

The only question is that, while this is true now, will this continue to be the case 3-5 from now? Will DX and Vulkan maintain parity, or will they diverge more and more as time goes on, to the point they become as different to each other as DX11 to OGL are currently?

I think it depends on how much Microsoft will want to be evil/bitch.
The last decent DirectX was the 9. DirectX 10 was a shame thanks to Vista, Dx11 is a wrong concept by default. The VGA market is going in the multi thread way and Dx11 went in single thread....
Thanks to mantle first, and Vulkan later, Microsoft was forced to re-do the DirectX12 from scratch.
