Quote:Original post by Will FAs for C#, I wouldn't be surprised if a large number of Xbox Live Arcade and casual/hobbyist PC games use it over the next few years. But I don't expect any game with a $10 million budget to be using it in the near future except in areas like tool development. That might change a few years from now, but the game dev industry can be rather slow moving.
Exactly. It will take time. It think, though, that eventually studios will realize that things have matured to the point that they can make the same game with other languages and won't need a $10M budget.
It will certainly take time. The OP's question was merely "Will C# overtake blah", and I think that managed languages will certainly overtake native languages at some point in the future. It won't be overnight, though.
