Shouldn’t the metal implementation be called mtd3d then? Whatever.

The most important addition to us all would be a VkD3d11, 10, 9, 8, based on dxvk code for native dx8, 9, 10, 11 support.
Dxvk and wine can’t work without each other, let’s have them married.

I wish they would not waste so many resources to support the assholes from Apple!
Like Nvidia, Apples is rich as fuck and can do it themselves if they wanted to.

Apple's nonsense shouldn't be accommodated.

Let's stick to open APIs and relatively open computer platforms.

first of all apple literally did do it themselves. it's called game porting toolkit. second of all apple customers are people who are actually willing to pay for things so it would make sense that they would put resources into supporting it. this is unlike entitled linux users who don't pay for anything and have the audacity to get butthurt when they only spend 90 percent of their resources supporting linux instead of 100 percent.
