I don’t really think a boycott will even work. But as it is I am not working and am having fun in L4D so I will just stick to that. It does seem like the boycott might have done something though? There are new campaigns coming out.

Maybe I have missed something because Valve is still trying to pedel L4D as a game of the year edition. If it made game of the year edition, then that would suggest that L4D is still in it’s prime. So why release a sequel to a game that is still doing well and less then a year old? Makes no sense at all.

I got asked to do advertising for this group which I respectfully turned down.

I find the whole idea of boycotting a game/company in this rather funny. Children complaining about not getting everything for free. I’m still waiting for the boycotts of NHL, Madden, NFL etc. As Acid mentioned already 60 gets you an updated roaster.

Well, my opinion, this was definitely not a good boycott, L4D has had plenty of time in the spotlight and has had many Updates on PC that were huge in the gaming perspective (if you look at the Xbox version they should be the ones pissed off, because while Steam is just giving us a bunch of free shit Xbox guys get nothing lol, glad i dont have an Xbox) but i think its a great time to come out with a great sequel for a great game, ill prolly buy it (might wait for a sale)

ever heard of give them an inch and they will take a mile? They saw what TF2 got and they were just expectant of the same amazing treatment.

They didn’t hope for it the EXPECTED it and got super pissed off when they did not support it with a bunch of free stuff, they got the survival pack and they barely even noticed hell, they hated the damn thing.

I totally agree, Valve dosn’t exactally have a reputation of “milking it” to overcome.
Matt from AGN said it best, people are willing to pay 60 bucks a year for a roster update in sports games, but we balk at this?

An ill-conceived boycott that is doomed to fail. Valve has already stated their commitment to updating L4D, and have outlined details for the cross-compatibility of both games.

Has Steam, CS:S, and TF2 really shifted our expectations so much in such a short time? In the very recent past we wouldn’t have batted an eyelash at a speedy sequel to a good game, we would have been thankful!

Having said that though, I will wait until it’s initial price drops. Free weekends and nifty sales are another thing I’ve come to expect from Valve.
