C is probably used more heavily in game programming than C++. That's not to say C++ isn't used, because it is. As for it being around in the future, I'm sure it will be. Things like simple windows applications (that don't really rely on absolute speed) are being picked up by languages like .NET. But C++ will be around for a good while still.
