And Unity has had some pretty serious scalability problems that come
from this decision and with unreal the garbage collected components
are optional, and when epic goes to push performance, they write it in
C++.

Having said that there are garbage collectors out there that are
realtime friendly, neither Mono nor D as far as I can tell are perform
well in this senario.

Personally I would accept either a Garbage collector that guaranteed
me better than 5ms latency or manual memory management.
