Did you hear they are boycotting Left 4 Dead 2?

Recommended Posts

Read all about it here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/92174-Valve-Fans-Form-Left-4-Dead-2-Boycott-Group

From the article:

Significant content for L4D1 was promised, and never delivered

Valve put little faith in L4D1 since they almost certainly started working on L4D2 right after release

The fact that L4D2 is nearly identical to L4D1 will decimate the community for both games

The announced date is not nearly enough time to polish content or make significant gameplay changes

The new character designs seem bland and unappealing so far

L4D2 is too colourful to fit in with L4D1's visual aesthetic

The fiddle-based horde music is extremely disliked, though the differently orchestrated music is otherwise welcome

L4D2's release will result in a drop in quality and frequency for L4D1 content, even compared to before

The community has lost faith in Valve's former reputation for commitment to their games post-release

Are boycott groups the new online petitions? I read somewhere just a while ago that people are boycotting Left 4 Dead 2 as well.

Wow. I thought that support and new content Valve gave to L4D so far was significant enough. As a long-time fan of Valve and owner of L4D, my impression of sequel announcement was "I can't wait to play it!" not "They screwed me over!"
