I think that cannot be compared. G4W is a widely accepted standard and has for sure a lot of marketing advantages. That has nothing do to with DX10 or any other technical stuff. It's a kind of insurance for users, that a certain game will for sure run on their systems. And if the possible users trust in the compatibility of our games this can only be good for selling them.


Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...
