I've spent like the last 10 years of my life making a few games that nobody will ever play. I don't feel like the years were wasted though, because the games were rewarding to build and stuff doesn't need to make money to be worth the time spent.

Sure, but would you support a generic global statement like this?

> "Gamedev has got to be the most rewarding type of software coding there is."

I am also a game development enthusiast, but I would say this is the reason why it feels so rewarding. The way of programming is not the reason, in my opinion.
