> Is there just a huge over supply of game devs?

Bingo. Too many people think being good at playing games means they are good at making games.

Isn't it more about thinking they'll enjoy making games rather than thinking they are good at making them? Games = fun so it must be fun to make them...I assume that's how the initial thinking goes.

Do the ones who are actually good at making games get treated better? Is this just at the lower / junior levels?

Nope.

Edit: Although QA probably gets treated the worst, and many programmers/designers use QA as a way to get their foot in the door.
