" I mean, if you were employed at a sinking startup, would you work for free out of your passion and possibly bankrupt and lose your apartment, stuff, next meal, or would you abandon ship and find a job with a livable job?"
No. But I would absolutely do
one quest for free, to save a friend's life. To her, her "friend" was worth less to her than one paycheck. That's incredibly fucked up and completely heartless.
