I've been in the software engineering game for about 30 years. While in school, I was once at the crossroads of business software development and game development. A bit of sage advice that was given to me that I'll pass along.
Game programming is often feast and famine. Sometimes you can have a fickle clientele which can cause problems, sometimes you can lose your entire audience by missing a bug or not having a feature.
Business software development for applications or data processing can give you more of a stable income over your career.
That is not to say that mastering game development is a bad thing. I personally think that, based on what you want out of your career, that you go (or continue to go) down this path with your eyes open and understand what you're getting into.
My personal opinion is: Apply game theory to business software. Reward your clients with fast and robust software that is not only a joy to use but can reward your users for using your software/app.
Just an opinion. But I wish you success.
