A long career is certainly possible, however, you will earn far less over that career, and see more stress than doing something less exciting. I still miss working on games, playing my own creation with music, graphics, game logic all coming together is the most rewarding thing I've done. Meanwhile, writing code which is judged by output in a console is much more boring, but much more rewarding in other ways. It certainly doesn't make you look at the clock, though, as there are interesting problems to solve everywhere.

My main point however is that if you want to make games, it certainly is possible to do so if you are patient and focused and avoid those who would have you crunch incessantly.
