I think developers for Valve specifically have very high salaries and an incredible amount of autonomy to determine their own projects. A lot of Valve devs get paid a lot of money to contribute to upstream open source projects like Linux and Proton so games can run better on Linux; that sounds like a very specific example that fits this.
