Why code in C? Isn't C++ basically C but with better features? Why do people still use C? Would it be easier to make a game with C or C++?

2This question is primarily opinion-based and opinions vary widely. For example, Linus Torvalds has a rather strong opinion one way while Bjarne Stroustrup has a rather strong opinion the other way. – David Hammen Jun 18 '16 at 14:00

C is used basically in embedded systems where using C++ is most of the time overkill and sometimes not possible. C++ is better suited for desktop applications and video games development. Most desktop apps are written in C++ (Chrome, Mozilla etc...) and the Windows OS is written in C++. For video games it is much better to use C++ since the OOP aspect of the language makes it easy.
