DirectX 9 Poll

[JG53_Valantine]

The Poll options are very indicative of the OP's position - however I have to agree:
DX9 support in my oppinion, should be ceased considering it is an out of date medium which to quote from the "fresh stuff from Sukhoi 2" response - one that is used to 15% of users...... so why should the remaining 85% suffer because of a minority who have not, cannot or will not update their hardware or OS to the modern world!?

I know lots of people who have worked hard to build, buy or update their systems to handle CloD, why should we be forced to wait for dx9 stuff in a patch when we have taken those steps to be able to play the game on a reasonable system?

I can understand the arguement of "since it was advertised it should be supported" but it's been a year, plenty of companies stop supporting their products or elements of their prodcuts within that time frame - also we do not yet have a finished product so wasting time on a minority issue seems like warped priorities to me.

Unless of course it is as others say and is instead another thinly veiled delay mechanism?

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy CloD and happily play it as regularly as possible - however I would also like to see it grow and improve - something I do not feel will be accomplished whilst they are still developing and creating support for an antique DX version that is almost a DECADE old now.
