The shop should have 7% of the developers or the developers time working on supporting DX9. Unless there's something really compelling that suggest otherwise.

Actually, I think the word you are looking for is 'infantile'. Start a poll with loaded answers on a question we can't answer because we don't have the necessary information (contractual obligations, market research etc, not to mention just how much work is actually involved in supporting DX9), and then when anyone points out that the poll is flawed and pointless, ignore it, and carry on with the same old "we don't want DX9" whining. Tough. It isn't your decision - and the developers would be ill-advised to take any notice of the small numbers who actually post on the forum anyway. If the potential CloD market was restricted to those who spend their time griping on the forum, the developers would be best advised to look for another job - but fortunately, it isn't. Frankly, starting pointless polls like this does nothing for CloD, and merely adds to the general air of negativity on the forum. I can't see why the moderators don't just put a stop to such nonsense, and lock meaningless threads like this. 1C have said they are supporting DX9, and that is all we need to know...

93.61% vs 6.39 says all...

This poll says nothing.

It means nothing.

It was a troll post from the start.

Not really. It's easily seen as a choice for the voter for DX9 or not. And DX9 is getting crushed. There are not any words that can describe the lopsidedness of this vote.

How about 'irrelevant'?

+1

Most players will be upgrading systems to cope with this sim, by the time BoM arrives most will have DX11 capable systems. Can't see the point in DX9 support for BoM, why spend valuble time supporting DX9 when probably very few will use it. XP system will be old hat by the time BoM arrives.

What about the 1,924 views this poll has currently had? That gives 208 "no" votes, 15 "yes" votes, and 1701 "can't be bothered to vote in this pointless poll" votes...

+1 ;)
