>haven't shipped a game in years

The Lab was released in 2016, Artifact recently went to beta.

The Lab is a VR demo, I would not call it a game.

That's technically "years".

Two years is not a large gap for a game company that employs ~300 people and allocates some employees to the development of hardware and Steam. Valve is not as big as Sony or even Nintendo, and a lot of people don't seem to be aware of that.

The last game before Artifact other than some F2P stuff that they farmed out to places like Nexon (and The Lab, which was a pack-in tech demo) was Dota 2, which hit beta in 2011. Seven years is a large gap for a game company.
