בתגובה להודעה מספר 1 שנכתבה על ידי תפוחים שמתחילה ב "dx10 ובעיית היהודים, תרגום סיכום סקירה של x-bit labs"
גייב נוואל מנכ"ל VALVE (פיתחה את HALF LIFE ומפעילה את STEAM) התייחס ל-DX10 בראיון לפני מספר ימים:
ציטוט:
According to an online survey by Valve Software, only one in fifty players who access download service Steam has a DirectX 10-compatible graphics card and Windows Vista installed. In an interview with heise online, Gabe Newell, president of Valve Software, said that Microsoft made a terrible mistake releasing DirectX 10 for Vista only and excluding Windows XP. He said this decision affected the whole industry as so far only a very small percentage of players can use DirectX 10.
When developing cross-platform games which are also released fo Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, developers look for the smallest common denominator. And since neither Microsoft's nor Sony's new consoles support Shader Model 4.0 for DirectX 10, only few games use it, he said.
In addition, Newell bemoaned the increasing lack of input device diversity in PC gaming culture. He would like to see controllers like the Wiimote or the Guitar Hero guitar, but since DirectX support for devices like these had increasingly been reduced over the last few years, developers didn't dare implement these expensive innovations.
The Half-Life 2 Orange Box, which will be released for PC and Xbox 360 on 12. October, uses DirectX 10 functionality only for accelerating some mimics. Visually, however, it was virtually impossible to differentiate between the versions

כמו שאפשר לראות, הוא לא ממש מתלהב מה-DX10, וזה בלשון המעטה.
