http://dlang.org/garbage.html has a list of features that rely on 
GC and I would say everything in this list is something you 
cannot (simply) do without dynamic allocation.

And as far as I'm concerned, you don't want to use even dynamic 
allocation in a game due to real-time constraints, since any 
dynamic allocation is non-deterministic. I don't know any 
"serious" project that doesn't use pre-allocation and stuff.

Do I understand it correctly, that you pointed out the parts in 
druntime/phobos that "overrely" on GC (could be done without it, 
but done otherwise)?

Cause if not - avoiding everything from that list should make GC 
present almost unnoticeable. And that's what you want to do 
anyways, whether GC is present or not, if you're really targeting 
real-time.
