Since when was directx open source?
@tabular @popcar2 who says it is? It's just a wrapper for this api. You could say that all API's are open source :)
Do you dislike godot as an OOS supporting closed source like windows/directx?
I want to encourage people to value software freedom. I am unsure of the effect of supporting proprietary platforms has on that. This feels uncomfortable.
@tabular still, it's just an api. Freedom is also ability to use windows if you want. Besides, what if someone wants to use ReactOS?
You should be free to choose something which isn't in your own best interests.
I feel bad even giving a Windows build as I am responsible for enabling that self injury, but hope their use of free software will help them switch in the end.
