The only reason I bought L4D 1 for full price was Valve's statement that they would continue in the vein of TF2 which has an excellent track record for post-release support (and which was at most $30 at launch now matter how you split it up as HL2: Ep2 and Portal account for at least $20 out of the Orange Box or did on launch anyway).
You *REALLY* don't get the whole point of the "boycott", do you?įor starters, I wouldn't even have called the thing a boycott if I had my way but meh, a name is only as important as you make it out to be.Īnyway, the primary intent has been (for the majority) to express discontent with Valve's offerings up to when they announced L4D 2 and to basically state that if such remained the same, then myself and others would not be purchasing L4D 2 for the foreseeable future.

Though the controversial sequel to Left 4 Dead, appropriately titled Left 4 Dead 2, is due to hit PC and Xbox 360 on November 17, the studio has previously pledged that it will "keep supporting Left 4 Dead 1" and hopes that once "everyone's had time to see the complete product of Left 4 Dead 2 and see continued support for Left 4 Dead 1, they may sort of see what we were up to and what the method of our madness was." "We're working with the fans toward the ongoing entertainment value of the product," said Valve founder Gabe Newell. "A recharge timer for infected teammates has also been added, and item spawn behavior has changed for more balanced gameplay."
"The primary goal of 'Crash' is to deliver a complete Versus mode experience in just 30 minutes, resulting in a streamlined version of the game's existing Versus campaigns," the company explained. "New locations, new dialogue from the original cast, and an explosive finale" were promised, with Valve noting that the download-meant to bridge the gap between the existing "No Mercy" and "Death Toll" campaigns-will also bring new Survival maps alongside the new single and multiplayer campaign. The downloadable add-on will be available to owners of the PC version at no cost, with Xbox 360 players needing to pony up 560 Microsoft Points ($7) for the experience. Having already promised additional downloadable content for the original Left 4 Dead, developer Valve today announced that a new campaign entitled "Crash Course" will be released for the cooperative zombie shooter in September.
