But the shear volume of successful games built by Unity suggests that the extra work comes with a GC'ed language is worth it.

- smabie 6y agoI mean, I don't think anyone is saying languages with GC are bad for a wide genre of games. They just are inappropriate for the most cutting edge, performance intensive games. Unity is a lot easier to get started with than UE4, so I understand the popularity. But for some games, the player can really tell how inappropriate the engine is. You can feel the GC churning away: poor performance, high dispersion of fps, frequent stuttering, etc. While any game using any engine could have these problems, it's especially prominent in unity games.
