I wouldn't say that the games industry has unpredictable success. Games that are fun with a great story make money. Many games studios' don't make fun games. or don't try to evaluate why a success became a flop. I'll give an example. Ghost Recon wildlands was fun, had a great story and was a delight. It's squeal Break-point sucked because it was a different style of gameplay with nothing but micro-transations. It was a signal from the developers to the users that they didn't really care, they just wanted to extract money. If you focus on fun and story you'll succeed. Many games studios try to paper over the lack of these things with shiny graphics and cool features. But people play games to have fun.
