There are many thousands of indie developers and companies who have tried and failed. Even the world class gaming companies have had an extremely hard time producing games that make money, these days. Sure, there was a time when making money in games was easy: that was before 2011. If you have a time machine and can go back to that time, then you could make a lot of money. Barring that, I would say it's nearly impossible.

Stick to SaaS, go into a field that's completely unsexy and solve a problem. It's still insanely difficult, but your odds might be slightly better than winning the lottery.
