Yes. It's just like an author or musician or other artist that puts
time and talent and work into their products and they deserve
compensation for it. as a musician I sometimes perform for free. other
times I am paid. When i am doing it as a profession, as part of making
my living, and when my skills are in demand, then I deserve to get
paid. Same with game developers. If, for whatever reason, game
developers or musicians or authors or whomever decide they can donate
time and resources and so on then fine that is their choice but it is
not your right.

I agree with Charles.
Game development is both time-consuming and expensive. There is a lot
more that goes into it than people might think. People that develop
games are entitled to financial compensation if they decide to sell
their product.

Why does it matter what they do in the way of work? I would consider it
like having a second job that may or may not provide a large monetary gain.
If they create or modify games as a sideline, why should they not ge paid?

The full-time developers need to be paid but the ones that make their
money doing other work and do part-time development are another story.
That's how linux got where it is today. The payment the linux developers
got and get is they often learn more about programming doing their linux
development than they manage to do in the careers where they make their
money. A loss for employers but our gain.
Aside from that, the linux developers get to work on the best supported
operating systems on the planet. Microsoft can't match that level of
support.
