There is a baseline of quality that is hard for a plucky individual to match outside of mono-medium media.
While it is possible for good video games to be produced by a single indivudal or very small team, it is a lot of work on their part and hard to do if worried about paying for food, rent, etc.
Filmic media (is there a good noun that joins movies and fiction TV shows as a unified object?), a solid level of difficulty above that.
