Gaming has become more of a show biz industry than ever. Lots of winner-take-all and lots of potential for worker abuse in companies that don't quite make it.

Gaming has become more of a show biz industry than ever. Lots of winner-take-all and lots of potential for worker abuse in companies that don't quite make it.
On the other hand, the industry is also filled with a ton of "barely above mediocre" games that just copy the latest hype trend on twitch, so it's not so good for gamers that don't like to slog through a bunch of drivel while browsing Steam for new things to play.
Basically, the chances of making it big in gaming are pretty slim, and most devs would be better off doing something else for a bigger and steadier paycheck. I don't see this changing in the next 10 years.
