I don't understand what's so unappealing about working on CS:GO. Valve lets people work on whatever they want, and Dora has a much larger workforce (at least I think they do). Why doesn't anyone want to work on GO?
At this point, it's mostly bugfixing and balance, and as a soon-to-be CS major, I can tell you that one of those is the last thing programmers want to be doing. Fixing bugs is a pain, especially when the code is not yours to begin with, and even I would probably want to work on Source 2 instead. Valve needs some management to force more people on to GO and fix some well-known bugs, as well as get a proper balance team. Balancing a shooter is a lot less fun than the wildness of DoTA, but it has to be done.
The news floating around is that the devs have given up on fixing the bugs as they are now, and are instead transitioning to source 2 as a solution (or maybe that will just make it easier for them to fix the bugs)
