I have heard that its not too hard to start your own project when working at valve.

Maybe it will turn into their next game, or a new steam feature or it will get canned.

I mean with that money printing machine and good reputation among users it's no doubt be cozy for devs to start stuff without having someone breath down their neck for costing too much money or too high of a risk.
