Hi,

Game developers, including world class ones, are making great C# based games even now, as is the case with the most common languages.

I personally would look at SharpDX or Mono first and then other options like Unity 3D. I feel that someday C# will be at or near parody with C++ in a general sense in the game development community. The language itself is more than 95+% of game developers need and certainly beginners and intermediate programmers have practically everything they need in C#. Why change ships in mid - ocean?

Thank you, guys, for your answers. Topic can be closed unless microsoft specialists will come here and break all rumors(I doubt it) =)

Well... Maybe we'll se a new XNA when the next Xbox comes out?

There is plenty of support for C# outside Microsoft. A game developer could make an AAA quality popular game using C# with little or no Microsoft direct support right now and over the next several years, too. No language depends exclusively on Microsoft support for game development. I believe you know this, but just for clarification.

I know most of you guys are C# devs but remember us Vb devs are affected as well. Typically VB is not a strong language for game dev but with the support of XNA it was a blessing. Now were just kinda left in the dark again. Microsoft needs to stop pissing off there devs or everyone will switch to IOS eww.
