Why would you say that? I have no reason to believe it.
C++ and Rust discussions frequently overlap so it's unlikely anyone who uses C++ hasn't heard of it. Game developers, in particular, are exposed to a larger segment of programming languages simply out of necessity. Searching for solutions or functionality will usually lead to esoteric options and the ever-present gamedev talks about how language X solves a portion of your gamedev woes.

If you count Unreal engine game devs then I could see it being true. Many devs script with blueprints or work on art or sound or level design etc. Not every Unreal dev codes with C++ daily.
