The Atlantic article that Uncle Bob was writing in response to lists several specific examples of software failures that did, or could have, resulted in loss of life: a failure of the 911 system; air traffic control systems; medical devices.

I would bet it's a not huge fraction of the software written is for games. Games are a niche if software.
