I agree Steam games are a difficult market to break into, but there are other ways to make money. Unity is also a nice platform if you want to produce interactive content for corporate or educational consulting projects.

Also consider the large number of places such as Hobby Lobby, Williams-Sonoma, or Home Depot that cater to hobbyist/amateurs rather than industry professionals.

As far as I know, there is exactly zero reason to give Unity money if you're a hobbyist.

Unity's asset store is a pretty cheap and convenient way to get assets if you're on a budget.
