As I understand it, Unity is crazy gargantuan huge, and C# basically came along for the ride. Many extremely popular recent games were made in Unity, including Cuphead, Kerbal Space Program, Cities Skylines, Firewatch, Monument Valley, Ori and the Blind Forest, Superhot, and more.

Yeah, I remember playing around with Unity when their main selling point was being a game engine for the Mac. It’s insane how they went from niche novelty to utterly dominating an industry.
Super Mario Run, Pokemon GO, and Hearthstone are also made with Unity.
On top of this, Unity is fantastic for prototyping, making it much better suited for game jams than most other engines.
