Anyone here that is making games and selling them on Steam (or other platforms)? Is it a good business to get in?

>Inb4 making games is hard you fucking nigger
I know. I just want to know if it's a good way to make money or a waste of time

If you do it for the money, you are going to have a hard time.
You have to do it only if it’s the only thing that you can imagine yourself do with your time.
If you want to say “yeah, I made some good games” on your deathbed. The rest doesn’t matter and may or may not come.

It's a waste of time and internet is full of useless incels trying to make le indie game. If you want to make money from devving then just become a web dev. After some years you are in good 6 figure area.

Huge amount of competition, market is flooded with games. If you're in it solely for the money you're not going to have a good time.

Make about $2500/month from microtransactions on mobile. That’s before the Apple/Android tax though. Its helpful but not really life changing and not worth the time required to maintain it

I would only make games as a passion
If you can make games you can make better money doing some other development
Then again you only need to make one good game and you will be set for life

If you aren't meant to do it, universally, you shouldn't try to do it. I was born for it. You were not. Good luck.

I just know that you have the same possibility to make some money getting into gamefi as well as getting into memecoins minted in brc20, satoshisync will make that possible so its bullish for me

just lurk and you will realize that it's the most unprofitable thing you can do with your skills. takes huge amount of effort and knowledge of various topics and is very likely to flop(make less money then working at mcslop)
