There is not enough punctuation so I am not understanding everything written here.
I think "passions" in relation to
starting a career is overrated. I imagine most people don't even know what it is like to work in corp land vs a startup or nonprofit. Each of those environment requires a different set of aptitudes. "Video games" says to me you have an aptitude and interest in programming. (Or design?) Plus you indicated you are close to a degree. You've already started in that direction and there are a lot of ways to go. I am thinking video games is a very competitive field but the reality is those skills are used in a lot of areas. I would concentrate more on the skills than the career field. Eventually you might decide a "video game" career is for you or you might find something else along the way.
Art is far from dead but it isn't a career you can count on for money. Never has been. But you can build that skill on the side and make it your focus later.
You have made efforts. It is really just a matter of doing what you are doing but also understanding what you try might not be successful at first. You might need to apply again or try something else until you find something that works. Not getting a job doesn't mean you aren't qualified. It simply means there was another candidate they preferred.
