It’s not about pay the modders so much as if the developer of the game took your mod, put it in the game proper, claimed it was their work, and charged people for it.

Can you link your mod files so I can sell them without your knowledge or consent please? Seeing as you have no problem with it…

I found several definitions where this meets the definition of “work”, but I’m interested to hear your argument about how “time and effort spent doing a task” is not work.

Nobody hired you to mod someone else’s art. It’s a hobby. I can’t put brush to someone else’s painting and demand payment

If you make something and give it away for free, that’s fine.
If you make something and I sell it to the masses for a profit without your permission that’s theft.
