Just Asking So It's Been Mentioned 😁

11d (edited) • 🤪 Fun

Hi everyone,

Just want to ask a question that I'm sure isn't brand new, but just wanting a reality check and honest feedback.

I know it's probably a long road, especially with vibe coding and AI allowing anyone and everyone to make programs and games, but what's the real likelihood of being able to turn this into an income stream? And how does that path look?

Would it involve selling your games cheap somewhere, like maybe $2 quick and simple games? I know Steam always has a lot of games that sell cheap. Or does it involve building an audience somewhere who will either subscribe, like on Patreon, or buy your games on other platforms somewhere?

I have always been interested in programming, and I've always liked the idea of creating my own software and games just for the fun of it, but I am also interested in building my own income streams and being independent from the 9-to-5 work life.

Any information and advice anyone would like to share would be really super appreciated.

If anyone has any experience with this, or has turned this "hobby" into a business or revenue stream, then I would really love to hear about how you got to where you are with it.

Thank you very much everyone! 😃
