0 games have shipped in Rust and there is no plan anytime soon in the future that it will.

People think that a good language would make a good game, that's error #1. The ecosystem matters more than the language itself, basically using Rust is starting from scratch so you can't use all the good things that C++ / C# had for the last 15 years.

Edit: I want to clarify that I know that Rust is a good language, but as of now in 2021 it's just not ready for games, and there is no sign of change. It's fine to say "I can make games in Rust, it's going to be hard and painful but I can get something, but saying it's better than C# is definitly wrong.
