Will the games market become totally saturated now?

As far as I can see, and read, Unity was the turning point back in 2006 that really catalysed the indie scene, ever since then the games market has become more and more flooded with indie and pro games on all platforms.

Now with the U4 and CryEngine prices, I assume trying to make a living out of games is pretty much not going to happen, well it will for a few, but generally there are so many people doing it that the vast majority will never make anything. There will be a lot of hopefulls but in reality only a few will survive, including the big companies like Epic, CryTek, Valve.

99.9999999999999999999999% of indie developers will never make a game that interests the games market place, they’ll still be here on the forums in ten years time dreaming about some other “hair brained scheme” for making a game.
Of the 0.0000000000000000000000000000001 % who actually do make a successful commercial game, they’ll change the industry for the better.

Aim at a realistic position in the industry, (ie Freelance modelling or rigging) otherwise you’ll just end up working in your local mall or McDonalds
I had all those illusions in the beginning, but now I make a good living working freelance and can have a good life
