yeah, i think its more about the fact that LFD wasnt really finished upon release. There were only 4 campaigns, and only 2 of those were versus capable. Promised features like the negative achievement system, and variable director controlled routes through levels were notably absent. The real issue here is simply the lack of content existing for a full priced game. Yes, Valve’s been good to us with TF2. That doesnt excuse this kind of behavior. I’m not buying a new game till I finish getting the one I’ve already bought.

so they believe a game company is not allowed to release sequels because they bought the first one? So what do they have to say about bioshock 2 or dead rising 2? Valve has been awesome with the game so far. The updates were HUGE projects and I enjoy a lot of there games. And I think that anyone who would be selfish enough to petition against a sequel to an awesome game like l4d doesn’t really compose valves real fans and the game will do just as well without you. Expanded melee weapons new enemies, new cities, even new characters is not DLC I say game on valve lets try and top l4d. And maybe not so many bugs in the first release please.

Yanno I actually have to agree with them to an extent. I think they have outlined decent reasons for objecting against L4D 2. A sequel would render the first game they purchased obsolete, and the promises of continual updates to the gameplay are void as they’ll just move onto updating the sequel.

Valve ftw. So it seems like you just want Team Fortress 2 amount of free DLC from L4D when they are completely different games. LAME.

I really don’t like this. Valve is VERY good to its gamers, and they have every right to do something like this. Personally, I know that I have played as much as I’d like to out of L4D (for right now), and I was pretty psyched when I heard they weren’t going to milk this one for three years before making another one.

Go Valve.
