L4D boycott ends

October 15th, 2009 Posted in Business, Culture, Industry, News, PC

The Left 4 Dead boycott was started by two L4D players, called Agent of Chaos and Walking_Target, a few months ago, and gathered considerable attention. The players were disappointed by Valve for releasing a sequel only a year after the original game, and not fulfilling the promise of DLC and updates to the original game, have now ended the boycott, saying they are satisfied with what they achieved. Valve recently released a free DLC for L4D, less than a month before the sequel hits the stores. The two gamers who started the boycott group (which grew to some 30,000 members), were flown to Seattle and demonstrated Left 4 Dead 2 a few weeks ago, which probably affected their views on the sequel. Just a bit.

    lol fucking sell outs. It may end for them, but it’s going to take more than a little marketing.

    Well, its all up to people and their personal preference. Personally, I am hoping for more L4D 1 content. And will just wait for L4D III, that I am hearing around. It might be a stupid joke, but I didn’t expect a L4D 2 announcement 6 months later either, so….
