Gish only made sales of $120k[1]. Edwin worked with a publisher and as you mentioned worked with other people, so I don't think he made a considerable amount of money there. In interviews and podcasts he frequently mentions being 'poor' for a long time while making games. Even disregarding all that, he was making games before he made Gish, so the example still holds. My point was, nobody is going to pay you while you practice, unless you get a job with BigCorp as part of a team and work your way up.
