I can't speak for others, but for me when I started: - It's much more fun to work on something creative and with creative people than not. Yes, people will say there is a creative aspect to almost anything, but I think games (and probably other things like film) are really different. - It is a big deal to work on something that you can identify and people will have heard of or understand. I used to be able to go into a store and point at the boxes that had my name written on them. - When I was younger I really just tended to work a lot anyway.
