Apple announces new graphics API: Metal

[h3]Apple supercharges iOS gaming with Metal[/h3]

“With Metal, Apple hopes to replace the industry-standard 3D-graphics API (application programming interface), called OpenGL, with its own development API that sits between the game software and Apple’s A7 mobile chip.”

Comments section:

If they actually ditch OGL completely, then that’s going to suck, at least for us indies. If that happens, I’m interested in seeing how it affects the current iOS gaming ecosystem.

I don’t like this.
