Why not? Ada is perfect for games as it is for many other areas.

At about 15:30 --

At 16:20 he says he would rather program in Ada if...
For big games Ada support on console is problematic.
For hiring, any decent C++ programmers can get up to speed in Ada in no time, really. The clarity and correctness way compensate any transitioning pain.

Not anymore, Xbox, PS4 are amd64 and switch is ARM, gcc supports both. Gcc
would need minimal porting effort or just use bare metal and build a custom
RTS.
