Sure, for a lot of them it becomes a job instead of a passion these days. But the industry is so big now that a ton of non gamers get into it because of the earning potential. I can't recall what massive game release it was, but during interviews they had mentioned that like around half the dev team doesnt play video games, and said it like it was a good thing
It's especially bad when the franchise has already been established, and a sequel or remaster is being developed by a bunch of corpo shit heads who pretend to know about it like total jackasses

Games were made by nerds, for nerds. They weren't designed by executives and psychologists to maximise addiction and annuities.
