Valve doesn’t care because single player games have a short lifespan and finite income. Games like Counter-Strike people play and spend money for literal decades. The amount of money they must make from these is unfathomable.

Valve is they only big gaming company that isn’t purely dedicated to only making money for shareholders.

Sure, it’s not like their last full release was actually a single player only game.
The headline is taken a bit out of context, the guy being interviewed seems to imply he doesn’t really consider VR “single player games”.
And besides, he left Valve 7 years ago.

You have to consider Valve’s position there. That wasn’t just any old single-player game, it was a VR game that was released to boost development of VR games in general, which Valve would make money off of basically any VR game ever created.
Same reason they created the Steam Deck. Look how that worked out for them.
