There's a huge amount of existing, and proven, C and C++ infrastructure 
in the game industry. Companies aren't going to be willing to throw that 
out on a whim. Then there are issues about platform support, tooling, 
GC-phobia, and other small things that all add up to put D in the 
category of "Big Risk."

That said, it has seen some minor use in the game industry (most notably 
from Remedy). It may yet see more, but until a AAA team takes a chance 
on it and has a proven success, I don't expect it to catch on there. The 
indie/hobby space is a different matter entirely.
