Why would they need to make games when they can just sit on their ass and because of steam monopoly on games storefronts they would still be paid?

"As for not listening to TF2 players, I'm pretty sure the game is still pretty popular so they must be doing something right."

Like what? They arent doing anything but release workshop cosmetics lol. Did they even fixed the bot problem after all this time?

You're right, they don't need to make games. Yet they just released Alyx! Counterstrike 2 is known to be in development!

I don't play TF2, so I don't know what they're doing right, but people are still playing it so whatever they are doing is apparently just fine with a lot of players. Bots have been problematic in online games forever, I don't really know if that's a TF2 specific issue. In any case, they've already supported TF2 way longer than most companies actively support their non-subscription games so I'm not sure what level of expectation is fair really.

No one has to like Valve, but painting them as this evil force in the gaming industry is a little bit silly IMO.
