Well games are a trendy area and more fun and challenging to work on than most other software...as long as there is more demand for game development jobs than there are open positions, it will be this way.

Unlike screenwriters, whose alternative is making lattes, game developers who get tired of the chase can go work for a traditional tech company.

Majority of people who work on games are not programmers. They are various artists.
