What's the most likely realistic way I or most people could get rich not soon specifically just at one point in my life

 

[idontmogu]

Scamming, being born in a rich family, starting a successful business etc

Likely is by college > job > promotions > 30 years > rich

by college

A very high chance this is untrue. Job market is fucking dogshit right now even with college.

Very rare because literally everyone quits. That's the only reason mostly everyone is unsuccessful.

Hell no. Juniors are getting replaced by AI but if you wan't to compete with AI to become a senior dev, go for it but be ready to not sleep and have the most shit job ever.

I see random games on steam with barely any players and those websites say they make so much money even if the game doesn't get too popular

Game development with AI is also okay, if you go big with a slop game (RV There Yet, PEAK, Those trash itch.io horror games), you can very easily make serious cash (For context: RV There yet made around 80million+ I believe, PEAK 120m+, and so on)

There are alot of videos on youtube that show you, just follow them and if you're too lazy just get an idea then hire some devs with a split of the entire game and all you do is guide the team how you want things to be

You see only those who somehow made it to your front page. You can't imagine the amount of games that get published that might have potential but never make it anywhere. That's the exact case for 99% of them. Here consistency isn't key but luck.

The 2 got popular because of great marketing which is an entirely different realm of business.

Not really, the entire marketing is "friend-slop" + tiktok, people like short 2player / 1player games

The marketing strategy doesn't matter. What matters is that they marketed it pretty much as best they could. They knew their target audience and they advertised it as what you said "friend-slop + tiktok". Making the game is the easy part, getting attention to it is much harder. That's why a lot of marketing agencies make far more than the brands they advertise.

You got me there lol but wanted to clarify one thing, game development is definitely a steadier path than the other options OP has but college is still the steadiest path to decent success
