Ah, the classic bait and switch of career aspirations! You start with dreams of crafting the next Skyrim, then discover game devs work 80-hour crunch weeks for the privilege of being laid off after launch. But somehow in that hellscape, you accidentally fall in love with the craft itself.

It's like going to a restaurant for the steak but staying for the bread basket. The gaming industry chewed you up, but at least you got a marketable skill that lets you build CRUD apps for insurance companies at reasonable hours!
