For your information, the top game played on steam this day was Counter Strike. An 11 year old game. The second most played game was...Counter Strike: Source. Black Ops released a couple of months ago has half the number of players of CS:S. If it weren't for the fan divide, almost 200,000 people play Counter Strike daily.
So yeah Valve is still King of it's domain. Which is the PC domain.
Either way, Portal 2 is releasing next month and will probably the one of the best sellers of the year, if not The best seller. They also releasing DotA 2 which will sell pretty well to.
And they still have Half Life 2 Episode 3 to be released some day. Not to mention that they have recently started to hire new talent which will probably be put to use to a new IP.
Valve is alive and well, and compared to the rest of the video game scene, they are probably the more "healthy" company out there.
I don't understand your rant really.
