You guys are insane.

DirectX excels on PC platforms, especially with its native support on Xbox One and compatibility with Windows Phone (though uncertain). Sony and Nintendo, however, rely on modified versions of OpenGL. While Vulkan and DirectX12 are emerging alternatives, unless they deliver substantial improvements over DirectX12, most PC gamers are unlikely to switch. DirectX remains robust, and its continued support is expected to persist despite the rise of other technologies. Content development will still depend on DirectX until these challenges are addressed.
I referred to a previous discussion: DX12 offers essentially the same benefits as DirectX versus OpenGL, mainly for creators. You gain complete debugging capabilities with DirectX while OpenGL lacks this feature. The only drawbacks are the lack of advanced debug tools and slower development speed compared to OpenGL. DirectX provides comprehensive documentation suitable for all skill levels, from novices to experts, with numerous books and online guides available. It also enjoys strong backing from Nvidia and Microsoft support, alongside solid integration in popular IDEs like Visual Studio, which enhances performance through hardware acceleration such as Direct2D. This setup enables developers to build richer, faster, and more responsive applications.

Not expected within three years at most, but Vulcan. In the end, what I believe will occur is that developers will begin building games for it on Linux because OpenGL isn't great, and they'll also offer Windows versions using Vulcan since it supports multiple platforms.
