Yes. Gaming is a massive market. It has a high barrier to entry, because its very technical.
People tend to discount it, because gaming is generally seen as a waste of time. But the mainstream people love to waste time. So it has great opportunities. Will only grow more in the future with VR.
Stardew Valley is a good example. Single developer, 20+ million copies sold. Stardew Valley - Wikipedia
There is not just game development itself, there are even people building great businesses by building tools for gamers. I don't remember the name of it, but I saw something about a site providing statistics about servers for a specific game doing great. Also stuff like esports statistics.
