I did, but they stopped putting them out.

That would definitely be a reason that they haven't put anything out - valve feels super weird in that it seems like the whole company is in maintenance mode and enjoying being the biggest guy on the video game distribution block.

They bought Campo Santo to work on In The Valley of the Gods, so they are still a publisher.

That's the same approach as with Portal 2, isn't it?

And I guess that's not completely fair - I'm sure they keep making hats for TF2.

This is true, you can never have enough hats and they have monetised their games to provide a (steady?) stream of income.
