I'm trying to figure out if C++ is better than C# for game development. I'm currently learning C# and planning to use Unity to make a game for Steam. Is there a significant difference between the two languages, or can I stick with C#?

C++ and C# do have a bit in common because of that 'C' in their names, but they're quite different overall. C# is really more similar to Java—it’s essentially Microsoft's take on it. Since you're looking to make a game with Unity, C# is definitely the way to go. On the other hand, if Unreal Engine is your goal, then you'd want to use C++.
Got it! Just one more thing—should I choose Unreal or Unity for a small Steam game? I've heard Unreal is more suited for big AAA games, while Unity is better for smaller projects.
