Only the very wealthy should make games is what you're saying.

I'm sure that will be good for the consumers!

I'm sure you don't mind the monopoly as long as it's only on Steam that the games are released though :)

Do you also expect everyone to be freelance in their job because "it's better for the consumers"? Do YOU work freelance or you have a single employer paying you because you want a steady income you want to be able to rely on?

If you can’t afford game making as a job it’s called a hobby

I too wish to make millions doing my hobbies

That's a completely ridiculous take if I've ever seen one...

far better to expect the market to bend over backwards to support your inability to make a profit
