Is it possible to be well paid as a game developer?

Yes. But it's possible to be well paid if you are the best at *anything*.

I'd love to even find a job as a game dev, let alone be well paid ;___;

Nope. Everything is impossible.
Notch is broke.

@jschmold who said it was the primary motivation?

@BigBoo Notch wasn't employed. And even if it s what I want to do I have to get a secondary idea if it doesn't work

@Orionss He was.

@BigBoo yes but it didn't make him rich

You know why games devs are paid badly? Because enough of them are so gullible that they swallow the false dichotomy between "well paid" and "interesting job". Their managers who take the money must be laughing their asses off.

@Orionss It did though.
