 Gabe Newell: 'Hooray! Valve's going to start shipping games again' | PC Gamer

"Artifact is the first of several games that are going to be coming from us. So that's sort of good news. Hooray! Valve's going to start shipping games again." Newell did confirm that Valve was working on at least one fully-fledged singleplayer game.
Newell said that Valve was working on "three big VR games." Today's statement doesn't make it 100 percent clear whether Valve has projects in development beyond these previously mentioned games, but it is a possibility.

"The positive thing about the Vive is, in addition to making sure that nobody created an iOS closed platform for it, was also that it gave us the opportunity to develop our in-house expertise in hardware design. Five years ago, we didn't have electrical engineers and people who know how to do robots. Now there's pretty much no project in the hardware space that we wouldn't be comfortable taking on. We can design chips if we need to, we can do industrial design, and so on. So that added to that."

With Valve's new hardware chops, it seems like we can expect more than new games from the company. "We've always been a little bit jealous of companies like Nintendo," Newell said. "When Miyamoto is sitting down and thinking about the next version of Zelda or Mario, he's thinking what is the controller going to look like, what sort of graphics and other capabilities.

I honestly don't know why they stopped making games in the first place. Their games were huge hits and had a huge following.

It's a mix of a few things most likely:
-updating Dota it seems (and maybe some of the other games)
-Steam (is their bread and butter right now.)
-VR

It's finicky so it only posts resetera/gaf/chertz articles since they've been manually set up.

However you can always make it auto chose a thread title for you. Just name the thread "bot."

Same reason loot boxes and microtransactions are becoming so popular. Making games isn't always as proprofitable as devs/pubs want.
