Default Re: Making a PC game / starting a game company?

Not really, even though I'm a programmer by trade. Good game design is way harder than program design, and a lot of the best games don't run on computers at all, or didn't at first. (Anything from Monopoly to Hotels to Axis and Allies to Scrabble.) I don't necessarily feel that knowing how to make a computer obey me makes me qualified to work on games at all.
