Well, https://www.tweaktown.com/news/102333/steam-saw-close-to-19-... says "In 2024, Steam saw a 32% increase in PC game releases, totaling 18,965, with 79% classified as "Limited Games" due to not meeting sales thresholds for community features." That's an average of 52 new games released per day that you'd be competing for attention with. Then you can look at the estimates for the distribution of revenue for the lifetime of the game at https://gamalytic.com/blog/steam-revenue-infographic which are very grim. Building and publishing a game may be easier than ever but the odds of making money from it are no better than an actual lottery.
