Is it necessary to learn c++ for game developer?

Question

C++ is a complex programming language
for any beginners but many people advised me that learn c++ for making better games.
Why ?

Answer 1

Whoever advised you is wrong. You dont need C++ for making games. Higher level languages get the job done easier and faster, especially ones that arent compiled. Everytime you make changes with C++, you have to recompile, which can slow development down when you are testing stuff.

I highly suggest picking a higher level language unless you are creating a game engine

Answer 2

you may learn c# its easy and lately many people are preferring it for game development

Answer 3

Not necessary.
You can always make games in other languages.
C++ is one of the big languages used in game development.

Answer 4

Personally, I prefer C# for game development. However, it greatly depends upon what you're wanting to do, how you're wanting to do it, and upon which platform/engine you're wanting to do it with. Just like tools on a tool belt, some tools are better suited for particular tasks than others.

Answer 8

C++ is currently a good language to learn for game development as Unreal Engine uses it and several games have been made with that. Unity is another popular game engine and that uses C#.
