Are videogames simply a bad investment of development resources?

Really depends on if GTA6 manages to turn a profit or not.
As for the indie space, even a low effort friendslop game takes a solo developer considerable time and resources to make (relatively speaking)
If you win the lottery of your game going viral you can make 100000x the value back, but it really is playing the lottery.

AAA games are, yeah. A wide portfolio of diverse projects is sustainable even with budget and dev time increases, all our eggs in one basket is not. Nintendo's probably gonna put the kibosh on those Zelda mega-games because there's two in a row and while they were wildly successful they were also messes and they've turned over every single corner they can for its iteration of Hyrule.
