Left 4 Dead 2 Boycotters respond to Valve’s response…
The saga continues, apparently Valve’s response to over 25,000 boycotters signing up to the steam community group L4D2 Boycott (NO-L4D2) of vowing to provide continued support to the original title and deliver additional content was not quite good enough, and seen as ’smoke and mirrors’. Here is the response to the response.
Smokers and mirrors?
Second, Valve has issued a statement not much different than the article on Kotaku regarding new content for L4D1: http://kotaku.com/5286185/valve-responds-to-left-4-dead-2-boycott-reaffirms-support-for-original
While we are excited about the idea of new content, we are still in the dark about it. What sort of content is it? For all we know, it could be a new main menu screen. Is it a new map, is it new monsters, is it new weapons, etc…? We’d like to know what is going to be in this new content.
Furthermore, when will this content be released? Is there any sort of timetable within which the content will be made available? These are all questions we would like Valve to elaborate on.
Last, Valve is trying to address the community split from releasing a new game in the series. While they did not go into details, and are still working on it, we will keep you posted. (If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to write up in a post on our forums).
We will be responding to Valve to follow up on their latest statement to us.
For now, you can look forward to a lot more interviews. We did a podcast which will be up by the weekend, along with a few other interviews we’re working on, in an effort to portray the group accurately. We are anything BUT whining. Anyone who claims otherwise is ignoring the steps we’ve taken to try and work with Valve. When these issues become resolved, we’re sure that our critics will be the first in line to download those L4D1 updates.
Apparently it is really difficult to appease zombie killers. Perhaps this is economy driven, I’m not sure. Personally I would just buy the 2nd game and move on… It’s not as if L4D was an MMO that should have an extremely long shelf life, but that’s just my two cents. Hopefully both sides can come to terms that will make everyone happy soon.
