The games industry being crowded is a bit of a myth, though initially breaking into it does present a barrier. Lots of studios seem hungry for anyone with experience. Though, a lot of the actually interesting projects are crowded. Which is a real concern if that's the only type you want to work on (I'm in that camp...)

Like programming, once you have a few years under your belt, things really open up.

Really depends, if your a solid game dev and willing to work on the latest Barbie licensed mobile title its not so cutthroat. Profitable indie studio though? Good luck with that

That's because once someone has experience, they can 3x their salary outside the industry.
