you're moving the goalposts.

I know actual game developers who released their games for free or under a pay-what-you-want model. They refuse to do so again because they can’t support themselves by doing it. I am a game developer and I won’t release my games for free because I need to support myself. There is all the data you need.

your insistence on relevance is giving the lie to your denial about moving the goalposts.
You know it and you are simply arguing in bad faith

this doesn't prove anyone ever needs to be paid to make something. a single counter example disproves the claim.
github shows a hundred thousand repositories for the query "hangman". assuming 10% of them are false positives it's still a great number.
there are over one hundred fifty thousand results on github for "tictactoe".
just how many paid games do you think there are, by the way?
