Well, they don't develop any games. You don't require a lot of people to run a store.
"Their" last game, Counter Strike Global Offensive, is 12 years old, and was developed by a contractor: Hidden Path Entertainment. Ony then Valve took over to maintain it. And anyone familiar with the current situation around the game (CS2) knows how much "development" is going on there.
My bad with HLA. But CS2 is a glorified engine update, and is not even near the features CSGO had. In the current state the game is a mess.
Sure they are working on it. All 3 three developers. Which is exactly my point. It's impossible to compare valve to the other studios, because valve isn't making games anymore. They just happen to own some eternal IPs where the fan base (myself included) eats their shit.
In another comment you say yourself they are not developing games. What's your point? You're just arguing to argue now.
CS 2 and is missing key features, a working anticheat included, and is not getting any meaningful content for months (the missing features included).
Half Life Alyx is far more recent
The most polished VR game ever made.
All the little attention to details, the design, the narrative, everything shows how much they care about that game.
