Game Development Or App Development Which Career Is Better by mlkraj(m): 3:38pm On Oct 12, 2019
I'm currently not sure if i should go into games development (Android,ios,pc) or app development.
To be sincere i prefer game development but one's preference must not be blindly followed.
One need to consider how lucrative ones passion is. Also considering the fact that games are usually more difficult/time consuming (please correct me if I'm wrong) than apps, I don't want to waste my Time on something that's less lucrative as its neighbor
Please programmers in the house, considering both their self employment opportunities (ads, in app purchase,paid version) and company employment opportunities which should i venture into?

Forgive any errors above

I'm no programmer, but depending on your overall target audience/market and how readily available the opportunities are..... I'll say app development would be a more beneficial choice in the long run......

If it's not just about the passion, but lucrativeness being huge factor to consider.. Then I'll advice app development.

Should you decide to go freelance, it's easier to find clients who would want an app developed for them/their businesses than to find those in need of a game developer.

May your Chi guide you. Amen

It depends. There are billion dollar games and there are billion dollar apps.

For me i'd prefer game dev, because game is also an app/software but then again it involves much work esp if its in 3D...
Although im interested in game making especially in 2d, even tho im yet to make one.

App development has more scoop as compare to game development because game development is not that easy as compared to app development. You can easily develop apps but when it comes to developing a game you need to hire a few more people who can help you to develop the game.
And if you need some help regarding app development then you can contact app maisters which is the best android application development company and they also offer ios app development services.
