15+ years and I'm still holding the torch!

Still didn't buy it.

Even if this game gets bundled for free in some kind of Valve "30 year anniversary - thanks for tolerating our automatic wealth extractor" pack, the odds of me ever playing it even once are about the same as the odds of someone holding a gun to my head and forcing me to.

Still haven't bought it. Even with it on sale for $0.99. ♥♥♥♥ em!

Never ended up buying it.

also, were all old as ♥♥♥♥ if were part of this group

i eventually bought the game in a bundle like many years later, i've tried back 4 blood and it looks prettier, but its objectively worse than L4D2. sometimes i think about this group and laugh as i imagine it didnt even hit valves radar. These days companies do way worse and get away with it every day

Status: still haven't bought L4D2, nor Back 4 Blood for that matter

Look at all these OG's. Proud of y'all.

Reporting in, still haven't bought nor played the game. Glad to see Valve still hasn't finished episode 3 of HL 2. At least we got lots of hats!

fu l4d2

I still have never played this game to this day. Do I regret it? No. Piss off, Valve.

Free copy of L4D2 looks like I won eventually.

rofl.......yeah so i got a copy of l4d2 free when it was available as such.......should I quit this group as it now seems....pointless XD

i guess i still technically boycotted it too since i got l4d2 free and didn't pay for it???

OK the game is free, i will take it, maybe even play it some day... ahh probable not because there are so many other games im interested in right now...

Its a good news, but remember ... it still doesn't solve problem with Valve promises about L4D. My Disappointment of ending support for L4D still persists. :(

looks like i won. game ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over gabe "n"

The game is free for a limited time and my boycott ends finally! Patience is rewarded at last.

I can understand the argument that a free L4D2 could be equated to a content addition to L4D1 and for those that choose that option fair enough. On the other hand I still stand firm against playing L4D2 as I feel it would be sending a message that I endorse the way this project was handled.

I boycotted the game until 2013 when they released L4D2 for FREE.

Free was the original price I should have paid for L4D1 content additions that were promised. I now have that promise 4 years later.

Game is free for the taking for a limited time. My boycott is over.
Seconded with "Gish"

I wonder how this boycott gonna fail even more.

My boycott has finally ended. The game is free, like it should have been all along.

I don't get the people that boycott the game but trying it during the free weekend anyway lol. the game is great!

Game is cheap as ♥♥♥♥ 4.99, played it in the free weekend and its awsome. This group didnt do/didnt mean ♥♥♥♥. Waste of time, bought the game, ♥♥♥♥ you guys.

@Moon agreed. I never looked at valve once they forced to sign their rights away or else they wouldn't even be able to access their games offlien. They are a very unethical company. ♥♥♥♥, everyone needs to make a profit what valve has done shows how ethically deficit they are.

Still haven't bought it, and never will. Now those tards are actually thinking about making a third clone. It's one thing they argued that 2 was needed because the first was missing something (everyone's money, not just new content). But a third, what did they fail hard in the second one again that they need to solicit everyone yet again for more money?

Still haven't bought it

Yup, they sold us beta. And I'm not buying awesome sequel of amazing game, beacause I'm not a ♥♥♥♥♥ and I respect myself. Well, actually I would rather become a prostitute, than buy this game.

@digit: Yes, I feel the same. I remember the excitement when I first played L4D - a really great experience. The atmosphere was just right IMO - bleak with some humor thrown in here and there by the awesome characters of the original. I remember waiting and waiting faithfully for Valve to add to the game and then lo and behold here comes a sequel! I felt that my faith was misplaced and since then I have _never_ looked at Valve the same way again unfortunately. I just hope groups like this made them realize that alot of people did not appreciate the way they handled things. Such a waste of a brilliant IP. And the whole episode 3 fiasco is another issue that chafes.

This is something that pissed me off to no end. Here is a game that had so much potential. They could have made so many additions to L4d before even thinking of releasing a second one. More maps,features,weapons, etc, etc. Then they ♥♥♥♥ on us releasing a second one. Still haven't bought it and im not even thinking of buying it.

Look at me. spread

I kind of wish there was a third Left 4 Dead game released six months or a year after the second one, just so other people could better understand my grievance with Valve. Alas, Valve probably figured they couldn't pull the same stunt twice. In all honesty, I really believe that Killing Floor is a far superior game to L4D. It's better supported, it's more fun, there isn't the same insane difficulty gap as between advanced and expert as in the original L4D, and above all: No ragequtting. If you want to see a source engine game with interesting ideas on co-op, you should try out Zombie Master. It doesn't have that big a fanbase nor does it work completely, but at least it doesn't charge you anything for its half finished ideas.
Left 4 Dead was an experiment on Valve's part. When they realized how many problems the game would be faced with in late development, they started working on fixing them, in a $60 expansion pack / patch called L4D2

Even after the sale, still no L4D2 here.
Friend tried to gift it to me and I declined it.

okay, It's actually 20 bucks, but you get the point.

Still don't have L4D2, ♥♥♥♥ that overrated game. The first one is seriously better. L4D2: Pay uz 30 bucks to get new weaponz!!!1111

this is the attitude! @ Moon & moralfaq

i am still strong! still playing l4d1: over 900 hours now, still no l4d2.. :)

I don't care if its $5 or under I'm not buying it and never will.

Exterminator: They only released token things for the original. No new weapons or special infected but merely a silly additional game mode and maybe a map or two. Sorry but that's a far cry from what was promised.

For $5 I bought it. You can't go wrong for $5. The boycott worked. They released stuff for the originial. The admins got to talk to valve.

The Steam sale is on, remember people, continue not buying it.

Click your group tab then you will see Leave group.

HOW DO I LEAVE?!?!?!

how do i leave

You see guys, in this world there's two kinds of people, those who know what boycott mean, and those who don't know.

Which kind of people are you?

Same

same, l4d2 owners should be banned of this group!

Same Harvest

btw can someone gift me a cool game from my wishlist?
