They have 2 successful e-sport leagues (DotA and CS)
They made and maintain steamvr, and released the Index not even 5 years ago, which is fully cross-compatible with older hardware like the Vive.
They develop Proton and Vulkan, which are open source, to boot
They still support TF2 with content and balance patches.
They’re developing Source 2 and just ported CS to it.
They released one of the best VR games on the market at the time in HL: Alyx
All of this, plus the steampowered ecosystem and the deck, and not counting all the R&D we know they do through interviews and articles which hasn’t manifested into commercial products yet.
There are valid criticisms of Valve, but them not doing things with their money is not one of them and just betrays how ignorant of their body of work you actually are.
That’s just not factual, at all.
