Never make a career out of your hobbies, you find out that you end up losing hobbies.

Sure, that can happen by definition, but it's not always a bad thing. Bill Gates built a mega business out of a programming hobby and is still living a good life. Linus Torvalds didn't become as rich through programming, but he's still at it, probably happily. Those are just a couple of world-famous examples, connected to computers. Every town will have less known examples of why losing a hobby by turning it into livelihood is not necessarily a bad thing. Though that being said, it doesn't happen 100% of time. A car enthusiast can make a living at a repair shop, but on their spare time might be rebuilding old Mustangs and other classics for his own entertainment (which is a hobby).

It really depends on the person. Some people need a separation between them, some people are the "love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life." Some people are somewhere in between.

Nanami could get some job that pays the bills while she works on gamedev in her spare time. A lot of successful indie devs did that until they hit it big with something.
