This is a skill that should be very valuable to pretty much any product design team, even outside games. Tech products are mostly UI, and UI is mostly interactive text. For some reason UI/UX design teams tend to be run by people who think visually or technically, with writing as an afterthought. I think the very specific skills required to write good IF would improve almost any UI, and there’s probably more money in that career than in a career writing IF.
