Is c# support a deal breaker? I'm not a game dev so I don't really know if there's any games dev specific tooling for c# that people rely on.


Definitly, that is the biggest selling point for Unity, it is a C# based game engine, with a C++ core like most engines, however what everyone writes is C#, with Burst (a C# subset for C++ like programming) they were even in the process of rewriting parts of the C++ core in C#.

So any engine whose game code isn't C# is a deal break for existing Unity users, as the only thing remaining are the assets.


I don't think gamedevs specifically care about C#, it's more like "not c++" but also not as slow as other popular languages.
