But it's incredibly hit-driven and while the biggest hits rake in billions, the majority of games make a loss, especially indie games.

To be fair, the vast majority of games on steam, iOS and Android are shovelware and asset flips. The barrier to entry to publishing on these platforms is $99, so it's not surprising that the majority are not profitable. There's only so many times I will play a passion project 2 person metroidvania with roguelike mechanics before I start to look for something else.
