It's not about the language, C# is generally fine if you know how to work the GC (which admittedly many people don't). The kind of C++ that is used for game code in UE4 isn't exactly "zero-overhead" either and it also…

They haven't dropped any language yet. They're planning to update to a newer version of C# and they will drop the other languages as a part of that update.
I'm not sure that's really much of a problem, this guy may have just encountered some self-important pricks (and it's good he found that out early). On the other hand, if the position is about <X> and the applicant has…
It 100% depends on the company and the hiring process. It probably helps with some of the "cool" places. I would certainly value it as a plus in "general skill level", but that's because I'm cool. It will probably not…
I think this is less true today with all the game engines doing 90% of the hard technical work for you, otherwise I would agree. However, the question isn't whether it can show skill (it definitely can), but whether…

Define "massive Western intervention" first. Socialist policy at one point in history ruled half the world's economy. You'd think at that size, if those policies made any sense, it should be able to do fine even without…
Socialism has failed 100% of the time. You can't get worse than that. Even if capitalist systems failed to improve the lives of the poor 95% of the time, it would still have a better track record. In reality, the most…

If you disregard his halo of authority for a moment, you'll find that most of what he says is usually very laboriously articulated whataboutery. It is "thorough and detailed", but that doesn't make it convincing.
