I'll never understand this shit. If you want to write a story, write a book. Why do people who want to write stories or paint a narrative make video games?

Video gayms is a young medium so the standards are low. Shit that wouldn't get published as a book even for free gets hailed as masterpiece of writing if it's in a video game.
Chase Fisher
Yeah.
David Mitchell
Also, it's a medium that got too big too fast for its own good.

Pic related, no one is going to give you money before you have finished writing your book and unless it's really good it's not going to make you much.
With vidya you can get payed before doing any work and start selling it before it's finished.

Video games are way bigger than books now
Your story has a far bigger chance of getting noticed as a video game
Mason Cooper
Because they literally think making games is easy and that it's an easier entry to success
Michael Long
It really is just like all those LOL comics
Leftists and sjw who got into art universities and other useless shit, do those because it easier to read, and spread than a blog post
That gives them more attention while also retards praise them for for muh art skills

Excellent question OP. As an indie dev, I have no fucking idea.
Although it might be that the barriers to entry for video game development are actually lower than becoming a professional writer, as amazing as that sounds.
