This is all false outrage and overblown controversy, likely aimed at Microsoft angst, and not Valve. 9/10 of these people are probably PS3 fanboys who hate Valve. I'm not buying the controversy, sorry, nobody who was a fan of the first game would complain about an awesome looking sequel, because it costs 20 dollars more than it should. Hardcore Valve fans have 2000 dollar computers...not Xbox 360s. They would pay 200 dollars for a L4D expansion pack, and all of them are very excited about the prospect of Valve finally creating games quicker than before. That's my take. I think most of the people here, who are upset, are probably just making it up, because they want to marginalize one of the 360's biggest upcoming games.

 

What the hell are you saying here? Some people are upset, and with good reason. Many expected TF2-like support, and are disappointed at Valve's decision to go ahead with another one when they with good reason say that L4D hasn't got anywhere near the level of support consistant with other Valve releases. I'm a huge fan of the first and there are people I play with regularly who are upset. Valve has a reputation for supporting their games and listening to their customers. It's pretty easy to see what went awry here. At the moment I don't share their point of view, mostly because I trust Valve enough to deliver and I've easily already gotten my money out of L4D1. You are very much skewing the perspective of the typical Valve fan, and somehow adding ps3 fanboys into the mix. I'm not sure how you do it, but wow.

Also, the $2000 gaming PC hyperbole can stop any day now. While some people indeed own $2000 gaming PCs, Steam system stats indicate that most people on Steam (and it would be fair to assume most if not all Valve fanboys are included in Steam users) actually own relatively modest PCs.
