Game development - is it good path to become rich?

[Ramzes]

Is pursuing a career in game development a good path to becoming rich? Surely, people need good games, but the competition is so massive that the chance of breaking through is quite slim. Many game developers haven't achieved any success.

I want to choose a path that leads to making a lot of money, but I'm finding it very difficult to come up with a good idea. To create a game, I'll need to learn many skills like programming, etc. The whole process of creating a good game will probably take me around 2-4 years, and I'm unsure about its chances of success.

So, what do you ultimately think about this? Is it worth pursuing game development? Is such an idea practically doomed to failure from the start?
