Apparently, Valve keeps getting builds that were never run through Steam at all, which is how games end up with broken launch options or missing depots.

I'd hope it's on every update (from the screenshot in article seems like last 7 days also works), so they can't expect the devs to do long testing on small bugfixes.

But also devs will probably do most of the testing outside of steam.
