That does sound really bad, although I have to say that I was not impressed by the handling of SW Build telemetry mess and their arrogance towards a missing update that fixed a game breaking bug on GOG.

Regarding Vulkan: OpenMW uses OpenSceneGraph for rendering (previously Ogre3d). I remember that there was a fork that switched to Vulkan via VulkanSceneGraph, but I haven't followed the development.

Some parts (except rendering/draw calls) are using multi threading, but the main bottle neck in rendering is the way the original assets are structured.

I've never been subscribed to Humble Choice because I don't like subscription model stuff and the selection of games mostly seem too random for me.

As a side note, fairly frequently I own a game already and usually I hand the keys out to my buddies but is there any kind of GamingOnLinux giveaway I could pass them onto?
There were some inofficial giveaways when the Forum and PM functionality were still available.
