Some of my favorite game developers live pretty much below poverty level and have to resort to patreon to make ends meet.

I really think that at this point developing games is more of a labor of love and it's very hard to pierce right now as an indie dev. It was most likely quite a bit easier 15 years ago when the indie scene was much smaller (but then there were a lot more barriers of entry back then)
