How does that make any difference? It's not like the work is any less hard, or more fun.

If the work was less fun, or at least less desired, then the wages and hours would match the rest of the software industry.

The work is desired because kids grow up with dreams to make videogames, not because it is easy, or fun. Very few of them pay attention to industry conditions until it is too late. Very common in aspirational careers
