Exactly.
My dream scenario is to be in a situation like Tarn Adams, who works on a game he loves and lives off donations. Ideally, by that point I'd have enough to sustain myself without donations so that source of stress is gone.
I don't want to work in the AAA game industry, I want to work for myself in the indie game industry on a project that both I and my supporters love.

They've had to change their whole model due to rising health care costs and are now hoping for actual sales to keep them afloat. I think that just shows how all of the factors in the article (work conditions, health care, "crunch") are intertwined. People are torn between doing what they love and doing what pays well so they can stay afloat.
