Remember that Ada 95 is only a year and a half old.

Also, many game companies are still trying to get by with assembly. 
The Ada (and C++) mindset is something that does not come naturally to

will eventually HAVE to change. But today is not that day.

Now I DO know of a commercial engine controller that uses Ada 83...
