I certainly remember games more that still have an active modding community, which is (somewhat) enabled by the choice of programming language.

I doubt Rimworld or Minecraft would have the thousands of mods they do if modders had to write OCaml instead of Java or C#.

Thanks to Unity Mod Manager and Harmony (C# Monkey patching Framework), unity games even get mods pretty much for free without the devs doing anything to support them.

We were already doing mods back in the MS-DOS days, and sharing them over BBS and Usenet, before any of those languages were invented.
