Fully understand how you feel. I used to do hobby-based game development when I was younger - and even turned down a position with a development shop about twelve years ago, because the salary was just not competitive with the sector I was working in. However, after twenty-ish years working in the software industry, I no longer do any hobby-based development, at all. It really is entertaining to watch the number of people who think that there is only one role that everyone in a shop has, and how all issues can be turned around in a week. People do not realize that something that seems trivial can actually entail a massive effort to fix.
