gen x boomer here. yeah this tracks with every art industry story I've heard, regardless of the industry. when I was a kid everyone wanted to work for Marvel, DC, newspaper strips, or Disney, but then stories and interviews would leak about how sucky these 'dream' jobs were.
I don't what these video games are or why people would want to make art for them, but I imagine it being like the animation & comic jobs of yesteryear—sounds good on paper but devoid of true creativity. I have similar stories of getting into graphic design, but too boring to get into here.
anyway, the best route is to make art for yourself and find a way to monetize online. don't know why more don't pursue the auteur route in an age geared towards auteurs.

>This will always be a stupid boomer-tier take.
Boomers are good actually. Most great artists were either boomers are pre-boomers.
>Of course digital art is real art
There's no object, just pixels on a screen. There's the absence of the artist's hand in the final product, which is why so much digital so-called 'art' has a sameness to it.
