Do you think Valve should continue making games?
You haven't taken into account the marketplace. CS:GO skins, keys, stickers, etc. are bought and sold like crazy, and Valve makes a cut every time the community sells them (just like the tax man on new and used car sales) in addition to when they are bought directly from Valve in-game. Not to mention their biggest title, DOTA2, and their old big hit TF2.
While they could survive just taking commission on the sale of other people's games, they would be missing out on huge amounts of potential profit by selling in-game items.

Yeah. Valve make a lot of money thanks to steam. Also, wasn't it a 30% cut they get on every game sold on steam?
Valve can still make games, but it won't be anytime soon tbh.

Hello, my name is Zeo Mause. I am here to tell you somethings that you need to know about Valve. First to start off Valve is a video game development and digital distribution company. So... that means they make games and distribute games that people say they need published. The company's HQ is in Bellevue, Washington and the founders are Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington. Now... lets get into the facts.
1.) Valve is a gaming company with a management of Steam. Steam is one of the best game internet-based digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer, and social networking platform out for PC.
2.) Valve makes TONS of money on Steam. Steam alone for them gets them money. How? Valve gets profit from each game that gets sold on their community. Example would be, Call of Duty, Valve gets 10% profit as the company of the game gets 90%. Now, not to hurt anyone's feelings but Valve seems to be retired from the gaming business. They are more into software, technology based VR systems, and their own systems than anything else. (Common sense)
3.) Valve makes money also on items for their games. Such as TF2 and CSGO and other games they have developed.
4.) Steam is the main priority. Just saying.
That is it for the facts for now. If you have facts please tell.
