They pay less because they can - there are many more highly motivated people who dream of making video games than there are open spots.

People are less highly motivated who dream about making Another Corporate CRUD App 2.0 (this time with Firefox support), and there are a lot more job openings.

If I had had the same level of understanding of economics as I do now, I probably would have stayed in web backend development.
