I think he only thinks of video games as the AAA titles that most people love. Getting into game programming is easy, and your first basic game could be done a month after you learn the basics.

But it puts you on the road and you can say you actually made something... Which is something that many never get to say. This post seems like it is meant to discourage people from getting into game programming by making it some untouchable elite thing, and it's just not.
