Did they actually do anything since then? They have other people on Steam doing the creative work for them.

DOTA 2 and CS:GO are doing very well right now. Good luck on getting them to release a game with "3" in it.

CS:GO is distributed by Valve, but was actually developed by Hidden Path Entertainment. Better examples might include the Portal and Left 4 Dead games.
