What was the launch price of this game and the original?

[The Dude :)]

I want to compare it to Back 4 Blood price ty.

[John]

30 US Dollars
20 Euros
20 Brit Pounds

I believe.
No DLC at all for this game, very active workshop.

[Cryptic]

back 4 blood already advertises microtransactions and season passes. f that.

I remember getting it on console and it being cheap. I still can't believe B4B is 70 bucks.

It doesn't work like that.

Pfft. They said B4B will be the successor of L4D franchise. Lol. Nice one.

Who remembers when guys from the community said it looks like just DLC, then got invited for valve HQ to prove that they were wrong and even proven wrong they still let the game to have DLC prices?
Good times, feel so long ago...

I paid $60 CAD (on xbox 360) when this game came out, no way it was $30 USD

Edit: this one review from 2009 says they bought it for $45 USD at release

Thank you. I'll watch the video later today. From what I know, the reason Valve developed and released L4D2 in a short time (under a year) was to keep the IP rights to the series.
Now I wonder what was the percentage that each team - from Valve and from Turtle Rock - contributed to the development of the first game. Was Valve heavily involved (~50% +) or not that much?

I meant

But yeah. Lots of the people from the gaming community said it is the successor of th l4d franchise, claiming it's "L4D3". LOL.

A bunch of very smart people left Valve after being forced to crunch for a year, and they never tried that ♥♥♥♥ again.
