Trust me, people don't get into programming video games for the money.
Anyway, this is a funny perspective. Zach Latta, the Hack Club founder, got a Thiel Fellowship. I would not characterize Peter Thiel's philanthropy as 100% mission driven. I also don't think he's a supervillian. But there is a finance angle, not a negative one, to even the most seemingly twee retrocomputing things.
Maybe if you saw Hack Club's deck, you would comprehend.
Any talented non-college enrolled young person could also consider a Thiel Fellowship. There are many opportunities out there.
