Video game development is an oversaturated market, and with the use of AI tools, fewer and fewer humans will be needed in this market every day.
The odds are against you. Spending thousands of dollars, even moving to another city, just in the hope of making contacts who can get you a job after a couple of years of study is not a good idea.
I don't know the future. Maybe if you get into this field, you'll achieve great things. What I'm telling you is, the opportunities are few. Besides, if you end up working in a medium-sized or large company, it won't be that different from any other job, since I understand you'll be working as a programmer, meaning you'll have to write code that someone else specifies for you.
Think about it carefully. My advice is to strip away all the romanticism from video game creation and think of it as any other field of work. That will help you make a better decision than just a few strangers can give you their opinions.
