C++. It simple, and more on demand than C#.

It's up to you. Both are good.

If going for 3d gamedev only, Unreal is one of the best choices and that is in c++. If going for both, Unity does very well and that is in c#. 2d only, and there are stuff like monogame and cocos2d on both sides. It depends on your focus/goal and comfortability of languages.

If you are trying to built AAA game then go with C++ else if you are an indie game developer trying to built game for personally use or as a hobbyist then C# is more more than enough. I would recommend to start with C# unity game engine.

C# is much easier than C++ and is the language Unity uses, a game engine which is very popular, has countless tutorials, and is accessible to beginners. If you're learning by yourself it is definitely the way to go.
