Is this reason specific to game development?

No, just as a consumer, but developers are building products for sale, which means they need to target something near the lowest common denominator, which should lead them to a similar conclusion.

I wouldn’t say that AMD is “doing better” than Nvidia in the gaming market but as another commenter said, their success is probably mostly due to an excellent price/performance ratio compared to NVidia.

Intel is also somewhat making ground with their Arc GPUs.

The key to doing well in the gaming market are good prices, and good gaming performance with DirectX and Vulkan.

Their market share is 12%, I’m not sure how that translates to “doing well”. Nvidia is 84%.

Intel has been chipping at Nvidia and AMD has been pretty flat.
