It wouldn't, hence why I think it is better outcome focusing on 
proving a good experience on engines like Godot, similar to what 
C# already enjoys today.

Making this https://github.com/sheepandshepherd/godot-d-plugin 
appear here 
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/plugins/editor/making_plugins.html, would do so much more for adopting D in game development circles than yet another half baked attempt to reboot the GC.

Meanwhile, indie devs will start with something like Godot, 
search the web for how to continue, land on 
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/apps/games and carry on from there, 
regardless of what the community keeps trying to do to atract an 
imaginary set of game developers, because "booooo GC".
