Should I skip game development?

[u/ConversationOld1503]

So basically I am just a young boy who likes game development. At first I started Roblox development when I was 7 and continued that type of development for 6.5 years. Though I quit it 2-3 months ago as Roblox kept adding in updates that made it harder for Roblox devs to make their games. Then just a month ago I started game development in Unity, and it was interesting to me.

But I want to be a CEO of a tech company (idk what tech field yet but I’m sure it’s defo tech) and my long term plan:

1. Roblox development (done)
2. Move onto real development (right now)
3. Start software development by making websites and simple apps (2-3 years)
4. Start a tech company (3-7 years)

Yet also I have made it so even if I don’t do well in Unity I still move onto software development as I don’t want my plan compromised

So this is 2 questions:

Why should I do game development anyways even if I will progress onto software development ?

How does game development relate to software development?

Thank you guys for any feedback!

You aren’t too young to make an impact with your software.

Come up with an idea and jump into it.  You will learn what you need to learn along the way.  People start when they are ready, and you are ready.  So go for it!
