How to Make Money in the Video Game Industry?

Hollywood's movies in general are the weird thing to me because they dwarf some corporations. And we'll dwarf most companies I've worked at. But just like the industry as a whole, how does this monetize is a question that is a lot more complicated than it was 10, 15 years ago. How do you take this fun game that has this really cool painting mechanic and pitch it to people and get them to actually pay for it? How do you do that? What's the right way? Yeah. These people are passionate and love their game and put all this time into it.
