Yes, C++ is used in game development. That's actually an understatement since C++ is the de facto standard language for game development. Most modern games are written almost exclusively in C++.

If you have the drive for it. Game programmers are a determined lot. They work very hard for long hours and constantly study new technologies and techniques. You also have to do this to be competitive. Game development is a rough field.

Of course. It's harder to coordinate and work with a team though.

You can say that.

Being good (or at least competent) in C++ is a good career move.
Before you decide on games, you'd better check the body count.
