You would be surprised how many games, or programs in general, are not written in C++. Libraries do tend to be but any progamming language can call libraries. Thats why I rankle when someone asks what to learn and gets C++ shot at them right away. Sure if you are planning to try for a job where a large team of programmers is locked away in cubicles working on one program then C++ is a good default answer.
Hmmmm there could be a Tshirt in there.
"LEARN C++ (if you want to work in a cubicle)"
