Not all, but most of them use it – even if for nothing else, then for composition/projecting or some discrete physics calculations. It’s a common mistake to assume that OpenGL is only used for 3D stuff – there are significant benefits to be gained with 2D acceleration using OpenGL as well.

P.S. Nokia’s own N-Gage ‘platform’ suffered from a similar problem regarding mainstream compatibility. At least you could do a wrap-layer to have OpenGL-like base (and there were a few of those wrappers), N-Gage didn’t support OpenGL natively.

I guess all games don’t need to use it though, right?

It’s not only about C++, it’s also about OpenGL (ES) which is supported on pretty much any platform vs DirectX which is supported only on WP (and in a limited capacity, incompatible with the desktop Windows or Xbox ‘versions’). Unless Microsoft directly pays them, or WP miraculously gains a significant market share, there won’t be many takers willing to use two (gfx) code bases just to have their game available on the miniscule WP platform.

How about Cave getting off their ass and fix DoDonPachi Maximum and start porting their arcade games straight over from the native C++, since WP8 supports it
