Because DirectX is a MS thing. OpenGL is platform independent.
DirectX is cool, though, because it is actually several things, input, 3D accel, audio/video, network, and a couple of others. Basically, you can do everything multimedia w/DirectX.
However, we will NOT be using DirectX or OpenGL directly, the engine will handle that.
And no, currently I am seeing Win32. (Ports may come in the future)
[And might I remind you that using an engine like Unreal or Quake means every developer will have to OWN it. If we use an open source engine like #1 and 2, we won't have to spend $$$. Unless we can get the company to send us the engine now.]
