I gave up commercial game dev because it was bad for my health. Super long hours plus long commutes up to 3 hours each way, jobs not being that stable if your not in the core team of 3-5 developers that start a project. Very unhealthy and made me neglect my family, friends and pets.
These days, now in my mid 30's I'm no longer willing to compromise my health and for the most part only do dev as a hobby and sometimes I think it's out of habit.
