I&#x27;m with you on this. I&#x27;m an old school gamedev. Shipped games on Atari 800, C64, NES, and most system since then. I hated garbage collection for the longest time.<p>But, I have to acknowledge plenty of games are shipping with garbage collection. Unreal has garbage collection. Unity games have garbage collection. They seem to all be running just fine and there&#x27;s plenty of large AAA games or close to AAA games made with both engines.
