I have scanned the web and come up with nothing, are they plotting to take over the world thru conspiracys and assasinations??
Or are they working on some kind of game?
How does Dhabih fit into their sinister plot?
Whatever happened to Teamfortress 2?
Why dont they update their site?  |

they've been doing a lot, not that I really think their work is that great these days, but I think by 'you scanned the web' it means 'no one told me anything so they must be doing nothing'. they released (really recently).
example:
San Jose, CA (March 21, 2002) - Valve, L.L.C. today announced Steam, a broadband business platform for direct software delivery and content management, at the 2002 Game Developer�s Conference (GDC) in San Jose, CA.
Using Steam-enabled applications, consumers with a broadband connection can purchase and start their applications faster than if they install them from a CD. Users can access their applications from any PC simply by logging into their Steam accounts. Steam�s replication and configuration management tools will eliminate the hassles of dealing with patches and updates. And by eliminating the overhead of physical goods distribution, developers will be able to leverage the efficiency of broadband to improve customer service and increase operating margins.
At its core, Steam is a distributed file system and shared set of technology components that can be implemented into any software application. With Steam, developers are given integrated tools for direct content publishing, flexible billing, ensured version control, anti-piracy, and more.
In one of the largest ever studies of computer gamers, Valve polled more than 1 million of its active online consumers. The results showed over 75% of this group have moved from dial-up to broadband. (See: [url=http://valve.speakeasy.net/survey/)]http://valve.speakeasy.net/survey/)[/url]
�With an average of 3.4 billion player minutes per month, Valve�s entertainment properties are larger than Friends, the #1 TV show,� said Gabe Newell, managing director, Valve, L.L.C., in his GDC Business and Legal keynote presentation. �With the rapid proliferation of broadband connectivity throughout the world, and as gaming, and all software, developers continue to extend their products� functionality via the Internet, it became very apparent that a platform for delivering new services and offerings is needed.�
----------------------------------
they're also working on the single-player CS game (condition zero, another fucking ancient half-life addon game), TF2, their own anti-cheat tech (since they refused to pay punkbuster), and they had something in the works about broadband standards that they were trying to get passed, dunno what happened to it.
they also have developed in-game instant messaging (cross-server) in half-life and TF2..
