I agree with this comment. Developing a game is one of the most complicated and rewarding projects you can perform on your own. I would go as far to say that developing a complex game may even be on the level of operating system development. I know dozens of independent developers who work on their own games (myself included) - people who work in fields completely unrelated to CS/video games, but still work on games simply because they are such complicated projects to develop. If you're the kind of person who thrives on difficult algorithmic and code architecture problems, I highly suggest giving game development a shot.
