However I'm not familiar with directx eight. It has a bad tendency of wanting to manage everything including networking. Though I doubt this, most games handle interconnection on their own. Even if DirectX did take over this facet this would be good since modules would only have to be made for one standard. So either way this claim is bogus as is any claim without reasonable proof.
