Video games are joining the same ranks as books and music. The barrier to entry for creating a video game is dropping. Libraries are getting better and programming is getting more ubiquitous. Video games are on track to be as difficult to publish successfully as books and music (and perhaps movies). If you aren't a big budget, it's very rare that you'll enter mainstream. The expectation is going to stop being that video games are a vehicle for profit (just like being an author is not typically considered a vehicle for profit).
