The $2800 is the maximum allowed by law for campaign donations. This is the most valuable money because the candidates spend it directly, whereas PAC unlimited donations can't legally coordinate with the campaign.
So this isn't chump change, it's the maximum possible for that donation and indicates that he's probably also giving huge sums to liberal PACs/SuperPACs that don't have reporting requirements.
For example he also gave $100k to back Bill Gates' later-ruled unconstitutional charter school proposition. I didn't follow it, but presumably the evil intent would be to spread woke into private schools by tying them to government funding.
Then there's secret donations. He could give any amount, to pick one at random, to Family Friendly Action Fund super pac and they have to tell the FEC who donated, but they don't have to tell the public. And if you do find out oh it's just for "families" that sounds like a good cause - except they are 100% Democrat spending.
But maybe he doesn't even donate money at all, he just "buys" a $50,000/plate dinner from some politics group and nobody knows. If you did that the IRS would audit you and rule that it was a gift and send you to prison for lying on your taxes, but Gabe can do it.
Could be that $100k and those $2800s were the extent of what he's donated, but we don't know. What we do know is that he recently virtue signaled a max donation that he's all-in for Democrats. I wouldn't railroad him for that, but for me it's another reason to not buy anything else from Steam.

Right, so these are personal donations, but he could be giving a lot more elsewhere?
