I think this is an error on the survey. Was anybody able to talk to Valve about this? I forgot which email to send this question to.

I do know they're largely only playing a handful of games like PUBG, Dota 2, and maybe Counter-Strike, so maybe they're coming and going according to new updates releasing for one of those games, but they do come and go in waves.
Time off, supposedly using computer cafes, as I've heard it explained here.
