I agree. A dedicated amateur with a passion for the game will give everything to reach his goal.

I don't do any game devolpment (other than hunting for reference materials for others), but I know from my own personal experience that I will put in 1000% effort, and go without sleep and meals for a hobby that I am passionate about. The pure pleasure of watching your own work (or a project you have taken some part in) near completion is all you need to keep going. My energy is endless for such a thing.

It would never be like this at a paid job, and I would never want it to.
