In an ideal world, art would be free and artists would get by on their day jobs. However, we're soaking in a capitalist nightmare, not an ideal world.
I don't know. I think in my ideal world, artists could make a living doing what they're good at -- art would BE their day job. (That's assuming anyone needs a "day job" in said ideal world.)
Of course, I've worked in a place where artists can do that... and video games development companies are NOTHING LIKE an ideal world. Hmmm.
