>It's certainly what most software people are working on, and it is probably where the plurality of the money is made.
Not sure where you got those ideas, but they're not even remotely true. Enterprise, while boring as all hell, is _huge_. The largest software vendors are (consistently) Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, and SAP[1]. According to Gartner, software was a $407.3B industry in 2013, and enterprise driven companies accounted for nearly half[2]. The video game industry pulled in $887M in 2014[3]. Not even close at .21%.
You misread that chart; The video game industry pulled in $887M in the US in One Month (February) of 2014. For scale, bear in mind that GTA5 made worldwide revenue of $1billion in it's first three days.
If we go by Gartner[1], the games industry was predicted at $93billion in 2013. That's over 21%, so a couple of orders of magnitude more than 0.21%.
You're right; I can't tell where exactly that 407B number comers from. It's irrelevant though in the context of what I was refuting, i.e., the claim that "most" software devs are in the game industry, which is ridiculous.
