Dude, you need to get a life. If a company doesn't deliver on its promises, then it should be held accountable.

Grow up, who said Valve isn't delivering its promises?

I never played, L4D, nor buy Valve games, but from that fan video, and what I heard from Adam Sessler (I think), it seems like Valve has yet to deliver on their promise and seems to have no reason to do so with L4D2 coming out.

Since I'm only hearing one side of the argument, especially after watching an potentially biased video, will you please give me Valve's side of the story seece?

I don't have "Valves side of the story" I'm not jumping to any conclusions, Valve could completly stop support for L4D. I don't think they will. I think they can continue support for the 2. Say they bring out a brand new mode for L4D2, how hard would it be to include that mode as DLC for free to L4D users?

I agree with you that it's too early to say if Valve will completely stop support for L4D2. However, I thinkt he hardcore fan's fears are that because L4D2 seems, to them, an attempt to get some cheap money, why will they give content from L4D2 to L4D? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of buying L4D2 and reduce their profits (which hardcore fans believe is now their utmost main concern) if there's no real incentive to buy L4D2? While they could only give some things from L4D2 and leave the rest to be exclusive for the sequel, wouldn't that mean a good portion of L4D2 will essentially be in L4D1? Or on the converse, if there isn't so much content on L4D2 coming to L4D, wouldn't that give credence to the hard core fan's argument that Valve isn't delivering on their promises of DLC and added content (or more specificly, a lot of it?)

And isn't the crux of the hard core fan's logic and outrage is why L4D2 is necessary and why Valve has been spending so much time on developing L4D2, instead of using that time to make the promised content for L4D?
