Feel free to join if you're interested.

I did not boycott the game. However, I find it to be the biggest piece of shit Valve ever released and have made it my duty to troll every last person who plays it. I will never forgive them for killing L4D1, a much, much, MUCH better game. Now they're porting over the original campaigns. Fuck Valve. They stole my money, VAC banned me when my account was hijakced, and killed one of my favorite games. They won't be recieving any more money from me.

In the mean time, people that want a recent zombie game can get Dead Island, RE:ORC, or DR2:OTR, if they aren't bored of zombies yet. Just don't give in to Lies4$$$.

loool wow, i'm so glad i stopped supporting valve products, i boycotted portal 2 as well, never gave in to l4d2.

two games aren't going to change my life, they may as well not exist lol

wow, i think we just got B-slapped by valve...

"The easiest starting point for new campaigns is the three remaining Left 4 Dead 1 campaigns, so the DLC [for Left 4 Dead 2] will include those."

L4D1 is now fully absorbed into L4D2, totally invalidating L4D1 as its own product. This would be like if BLOPS had all of MW's campaign and MP maps/killstreaks/perks, or Portal 2 being release one year after Portal 1 and included all of Portal 1's campaign.

"I'm gonna laugh if next week, out of the blue, they give L4D1 players L4D2 for free...."
Far from happening. This boycott won't accomplish anything, and never did. It's just a collective way of seeing how many £/$/*eurokeyicantfind* that Valve is missing out on. They never intended to give us anything for our money. Hopefully we've all learnt a lesson here.

I never gave in, my friend bought it for me. I'm still boycotting by not playing it. And even if I did purchase it, I'd still be here because valve needs to fucking deliver on content.

I think that everyone that fall in the temptation of buying left 4 dead 2 should be left the group

'L4D2 is being offered at 75% off (Just under 5 dollars) for people who own L4D1, and although that's not EXACTLY what I wanted, I suspect it's the best damn compromise we're gonna get, and it does technically fulfill the requests of the original boycott.'
It only fullfilled the expansion pack price for original l4d owners. Not the content.

I give up. Simple as that.

It's apparent that our collective boycott efforts, while impressive, were ultimately in vain. It would be physically impossible for Valve to remedy their actions, even if they wanted to...

I understand that my actions in finally buying this game are contraindicated by this boycott, and that I, essentially, gave in to the system that has foresaken us... so sorry about that.

I like how the people who pre-orded...didn't just fuck themselves by paying five more bucks for a bat everyone could get, but also totally waste there money seeing as it went to a low of under 10 dollars in a year time. I salute you idiots and I wish the money you spent wasn't your parents.

Wow it didn't go on sale :(
So where the hell is our conten- ahem, i mean. Uh, why is it delayed then?

For those of you who still haven't caved in at the price of the L4D DLC, i suggest you check out Killing Floor. It's similar to L4D in that it's a team based zombie-like shooter. But it's also very different. It's received a lot of free content updates, like new enemies, guns, maps etc. and it's seriously fun. Just like what i had expected from Valve. It'll probably have a price drop in the next treasure hunt sale since it has a new content update coming out today. Give it a go if you haven't already.
And @ the guy below: It's funny that there's only one game on your list that hasn't missed my point, but nice try!

@LSD Name 5 new games (last 2 years) which aren't half arsed? Alright, that's easy.

1. Red Dead Redemption
2. Mass Effect
3. Grand Theft Auto IV
4. Dragon Age: Origins
5. Sid Meier's Civilization V

Just to name a few.
