Depends what you mean by that. In my opinion their game development is pretty "shittified": - They completely abandoned beloved series like Portal, Left4Dead and Half-Life. Half-Life 2 Episode 3 is legendary for the fact that it never got made. It has been 16 years since Episode 2 and the wait was so long that even the lead writer decided to leak the story. Almost no one played the VR game since only 2% of Steam users have a VR headset. - Team Fortress 2 has been terrorized by a small group of unhinged trolls for years. These people use bots to invade games en-masse and cause havoc, preventing the game from being played as intended. Valve ignored the problem for years until the TF2 community finally railed up the social media, which finally caused Valve to finally fix the problem, except the fix was very short lived and the game is back to the terrible state it was in previously. - CS:GO had plenty of controversies, for example cheating in high-level tournaments (spectator/coach bug) and the marketplace being a vessel for gambling that involved minors. - Every single multiplayer game suffers from either hacking or "smurfing" (highly-skilled players making new accounts to dominate the lower ranks). Every single attempt to fix the situation is temporary and never lasts long enough to make any difference. - The only new games released in the past few years (Artifact, Dota Underlords) were attempts to capitalize on existing trends rather than original new games and both failed miserably as a result. Everything they seem to do in terms of game development is subpar. It's like it just needs to be good enough to sell virtual items, which makes them no different than any other AAA developer in recent years. As a fan of what the company used to be it's heartbreaking to see it in such a state.
