Why I Write Games in C (yes, C)
If C gets operator overloading and RAII, there will be no good reason to use C++ for me!!

Only operator overloading is really important and would cut down the size of code written substantially. Thats the only real advantage of using C++ vs C. Everything else oop, function overloading,RAII,etc can be replaced with macros and structs.

Pretty sure you can't make destructors with macros?

Is RAII in C a serious suggestion being made anywhere?

GCC has it as an extension. See the cleanup attribute:

It is meaningless without destructors and exceptions.
