It all depends on which games people intend to write.
Apparently younger generations are unaware that C was seen as a managed language in the 80's and early 90's, with compilers not generating good enough code for game development.
In the 90's I have seen lots of Turbo Pascal and C code where the functions where plain wrappers for inline Assembly.
So unless you intend to write Crysis in Go, there are lots of games you can write with it.
