"Game developers are paid well above the average income for the country and you work in an office where nobody would possibly get hurt" is a claim that falls apart if you do much research. The industry is full of horror stories of people ending up hospitalized as a result of aggressive schedules (salaried roles with no OT pay or constraints on time! people sleeping in the office, working 6-7 day weeks for months at a time, etc!) and the pay really is NOT that competitive at most studios. There are outliers that pay really well, mostly ones backed by silicon valley investment money, but the median is not that good.
