Article here. I think they are idiotic in trying to re-invent the wheel, but they want to control their software and hardware.

The problem I see, is that by all accounts, and void avoid licensing fee's they'll make it exclusively their own metal api.

And I'm saving this forum link, just to see if I can predict the future.

And people still believe that Apple are the white knights of computer developers, and that the guys at FD are deliberately screwing over the Mac playerbase by not making "simple" adaptations to the mess that Mac make...

Question is, will they support Vulkan out of the box, or with they have their own proprietary API no game company will touch with a ten foot pole.

Wow...Apple

If there is anything under more scrutiny than GPUs, I can't think of it.

More power to em, I guess. There is nothing I can think of wanting less than an overpriced GPU. They are already so expensive.

Its Apple, they specifically decided NOT to adapt Vulkan, I do not see them adapting it on the GPU under guise of improvements and such.
