Forums - Microsoft Discussion - L4D 2 Boycott Officially Over

Agent of Chaos:

 

We have accomplished everything we can on our manifesto. We’ve been dealing with Valve ever since our group started, then we met them in-person and now we’re at the point of concluding our discussions. Our goal wasn’t to steer people away from L4D2, it was to get Valve’s attention and have them support original L4D. We succeeded and that’s where our mission ends; nothing more or less.

 

The recently released Crash Course was just the start. Future updates will continue to roll in, and 4v4 matchmaking is first in line. Valve has confirmed to us that it’ll be available before the release of L4D2. Also don’t forget, we have another DLC pack confirmed for sometime in the near future and of course, there will be bug fixes. This is as good as it can get people.

 

As for Left 4 Dead 2 we are all aware it expands on L4D’s gameplay and takes it to the next level. Its successful sales only confirm that we’ll get to slaughter more zombies in future, not that we have failed. We understand some of you have a problem with its price tag. Personally, I’m quite surprised with the discount on pre-orders; A 4 Pack bundle brings it down to only $33.75 for each person. I see many people took advantage of this including "boycotters", but to be honest that’s a fair price. In other words, that’s what expansions cost. You can’t blame them for making this decision. Not everyone shared the same thoughts here.

L4D2 will still run on a MAC, and will probably still work on Linux.Your logic is flawed.

Also, Windows is not what PC gaming is about. A PC game has the nature of being able to run on several Personal Computers with varied specifications. That's why you can run most PC games on Linux, and all can run on a MAC with a more popular OS for gaming.

Windows doesn't define PC gaming. Microsoft gets nothing from PC games.

Besides, this news should've been in the PC section, because the boycott was created by people as PC gamers, against a business decision that is prevalent on consoles, and not ideal on PC and "foreign" to PC gamers.
