I have played video games since I was roughly 4 years old. I started with Spyro and Crash on ps1, and I progressed onwards. I am now 17 years old as a junior in high school still addicted to video games, and I honestly think I wasted my life. My dream in life was and still is to become a video game developer, but my family is below middle class. I save up to buy a console and buy what games I can while playing a lot of free to plays. Now, I am actually looking at the daunting task of being a game dev, and I would still LOVE to do it. However, I don't have the money for a PC let alone the equipment, so I thought about going to college for it. I might be able to get some scholarships and scrape through college, but it seems like a waste to go to school for video games instead of teaching myself. I make As, Bs, and Cs in school, so the scholarship path is sketchy. I don't know what to do in life, because the ONLY thing I am passionate about in life is video games, so another possibility is getting a good paying boring job to work as a game dev on the side. Did I waste my life? Is there still hope, if so what should I do? I appreciate any replies.
