they stopped making games and started focusing on creating f2p/cheap games that practically vomit money out.
If you go back and watch the developer commentary for TF2, you'll see some amazing effort they put into making the game great.
2007 had left 4 dead, tf2, and portal, which are all great games that are really fantastic. However, they started focusing on stuff like making nothing but skins for CSGO and hats for dota2, which are already massively popular. They just have to keep updating the game and removing bugs, and people will feed money into steam like some sort of backwards ATM.
it's been a while since we've seen valve flex their creative muscles, although I attribute that to Robin Walker not working on games anymore.

They made a number of successful game sequels and a successful online game market that generated enough money for them to never have to release another sequel in the near future

GabeN died years ago and they've been animating a left over Boomer model for pubic appearances.

They hired psychologists to make HL2 better, learned some shit about behavioural patterns and how to get teh dopamines, used it to make megabank instead of games. Hats and skins, hats and skins.
OP came out of the closet and his family rejected him.
Left 4 Dead was the last Valve game I bought on release. It wasn't horrible, but the magic definitely died there seeing how Orange Box raised the bar so high. Left 4 Dead 2 was a shocking salt on the wound. Team Fortress 2 "updates" was the downward mud slide. CSGO's introduction of gun skins and the whole existence of Dota 2 were the final nail in the coffin. This company is done to me.

One of my steam friends got a couple of skins into CSGO ages ago.
There is no logic behind the selection, besides:
