Pildi ang Microsoft, why PC Gaming is still alive is because of DX. DX is a selling point. Imagine if most games were running on OpenGL, good God that's a Linux nerd haven. And not just for Linux nerds, but for Mac hipsters too! Gamay nalang ang mamalit ug Windows except for the less literate ones.
Pildi ang game devs. Kung hait ka sa DX but suddenly you have to shift to OpenGL because the market is not fit for DX games assuming OpenGL has evolved a mile away from the dead DX, a developer has to learn OpenGLs syntaxes and conventions although OpenGL is much easier to code on.
Sort of pildi ang hardware makers pero the demand will stay the same as long as people will play games. Like what earlz said, if gpus focus on GP-GPU, GPUs will not only serve as a gaming piece but also for different usages (i would more likely use GP-GPU to crack hashed passwords).
