    Given that DX11 is still only supported by a subset of PC gamers (both SW and HW) then there is no real reason for anybody to use DX12 in the near future, especially if Microsoft is stupid enough to lock it down to Win8.1 - I know they have hinted that it'll work with 7 but nobody knows for sure yet so no developer is going to even look into it if it means it'll only work for a very small subset of their playerbase.

    For reference, Steam survey shows 50% of people are using DX11 capable cards with Win 7 so, while thats a good number thats already half the playerbase out for DX11 and given how infrequently most "non-hardcore" gamers update their machines, its not likely anybody with a 7/11 machine is going to update to 8/12 in the near future.
