Raw enthusiasm and dedication will serve you far better than any skills in maths (although the skills do help)
If you can understand the logic of how games operate, you may not even need the maths, I failed my A-Level Maths with an Unclassified, not even an F grade (twice, got same grade after a retake)
I'm decent at maths but crap at exams as my courseworks were always top notch. The difference being that maths is easier when you can visualise it in code, out of the text book on paper in a classroom, I've no idea what I'm writing down. I still get Cos and Sin mixed up to this day in my code, does that make me a bad coder. I'm shit at maths!
I was told by pretty much everyone to not be a games programmer, I ignored them and am now onto my 8th game.
Even if you're not particularly talented (like me) you can still make games if you try hard enough, if you don't understand some maths, just look it up and copy and paste in. Easy.
