OpenGL

John Carmack used to say that he doesn't need to use DirectX, because OpenGL was really good. And now he is asking for the latest RTX graphicas cards to play the new Doom. This is so sad. Nobody is working anymore in making good Apis, or clean the code. Just asking for the latest graphics cards...

They didn't force Machine Games to use DX12 in the Indiana Jones game - it runs Vulkan, too.
