Even outside the engines available to us plebs C# is becoming extremely popular in game dev. It's basically ergonomic C++ so it's very familiar to the kind of people who do games for a living, the VM is world-beatingly fast, and it's an easy language to hire for. Most games companies use Windows anyway so the MS lock-in isn't so much of a downside (obviously C# isn't Windows-only now but it's still controlled by MS).
