"The PS3 era?"
There was also an Xbox, but Nintendo owned half the market with its Wii.
Also: Recently I saw that Nintendo's annual revenue is comparable to that of Sony, which is the world's 5th largest media conglomerate.
That, and next year will mark the 50th year of the video game software industry, since the introduction of the first cartridges.

🎮 Un jeu qui échoue à convaincre les gamers : est-ce forcément parce qu'il est woke ? C'est en tout cas l'avis du Gamergate, ce mouvement qui dénonce la politisation des jeux vidéo.
Une tenue qui montre un peu moins les seins d'un personnage, une référence LGBT, un héros noir suffisent désormais pour être mis au ban.

A few more thoughts:
A game's success or failure is mostly out of the hands of any individual. You could do fantastic work on great game that never gets the attention it deserves. You could be stuck on mismanaged project that is never completed.
You could work for a game studio that has history of firing 90% of staff right after the game ships & receive no tips because policy only distributes tips to current employees.

There's an idea floating around to enable tipping videogame developers. For self-published games, this is a fine idea. For major studios, tipping game devs would allow them to shift some of the burden of providing a fair wage to the players. If you think the tips would 100% be on top of whatever they are paid now, you are being fooled.
