I have a smallish D game on Steam and trust me, you can absolutely use the D runtime instead of -betterC. -betterC is a work in progress and not representative of D. You will say that you don't want a GC but in reality the GC can be optimized as much as you wan't, and in the mean time you'll get precious _developement time_ to optimize further. If you can afford the D runtime by all means take it ; for some products I'm doing without the D runtime, and the surprise was that it did't make things any faster _at all_ without the runtime (we did it for other reasons). The only real gain is memory consumption of GC vs manual and that is achievable without going through extreme coercitive measures like -betterC.
