lol, if you actually want to learn, stop asking, get off four-channel and pick up a book

Do what makes you happy. If you're wanting to make games professionally you'll probably realize it's not as fun as actually playing games and you also probably won't have any say over what game you get to make. You're just going to be an underpaid and overworked programmer.
If you want to make games for yourself as a hobby though it can be really fun. Just don't be like my friend who quit his job to be an indie game dev and then spend the next 3 years working on the exact same shitty, unfinished, bug filled "game" while begging your friends for money and a place to stay.

30 is fine. Go for it and let your dream game be your drive. just dont expect to make money

I'm 30 and I've been "making" games for 20 years and I still don't have anything released yet. Just shut up and fucking get on with it.

>now want to make games
If you want to learn to code, get games off your brain already.

you don't have to "learn how to code" to develop games. most game developers are shitty programmers and even shittier software engineers. approaching gamdev with a software architect's mentality is a good way to go nowhere fast. pic related
