They use Unity, Unreal, Xenko, Monogame, CryEngine, Godot, 
HoloLens UWP instead.

All of them with support for tracing GC alongside C# for various 
levels go game scripting, and Unreal even uses their own C++ GC 
implementation.

Ah, and then two of the major 3D APIs, namely DirectX and Metal, 
make use of reference counting, which despite all cargo cult 
around GC vs RC, it is a GC algorithm as per CS definiton, 
chapter 5 of the renowed Garbage Collection handbook.

Have fun with your GC hate.

Do you know what? People like you used to argue against using C 
and Pascal for doing games.

Then the same people, that grundgely adopted them, started to use 
the same arguments against C++.

Some devs can only move forward when platform owners drag them 
out of their confort zone.
