The Left 4 Dead 2 Boycott is a group of individuals who have pledged to boycott Valve's upcoming release of Left 4 Dead 2 on November 17th, 2009. We have assembled a manifesto outlining the basic concensus of many members of our community.
WE RECOGNIZE:
-Valve is a company with financial needs and cannot be expected to survive without the release of new games.
-Judgment cannot be passed on the quality of Left 4 Dead 2 until its release.
-Left 4 Dead was, and is, a quality game which deserves the praise of the entire gaming community.
WE ARE COMMITTED:
-To holding Valve to its promise of free, continual updates to Left 4 Dead in order to build and sustain the community.
-To keeping the Left 4 Dead community together in order to improve the quality of online gaming.
-To supporting the model of continual updates Valve has set forth with its staple products like Team Fortress 2.
WE BELIEVE:
-The release of Left 4 Dead 2 as a stand-alone sequel will split the communities and decrease the quality of multiplayer gaming.
-The announced content of Left 4 Dead 2 does not warrant a stand-alone, full-priced sequel and should instead become updates (free or otherwise) for Left 4 Dead.
-Left 4 Dead has not yet received the support and content which Valve has repeatedly stated will be delivered.
-The release of Left 4 Dead 2 will make Left 4 Dead an obsolete purchase and inferior piece of software after only one year since release.
WE REQUEST:
-That Valve honor its commitment to release ongoing periodic content for Left 4 Dead.
-That Left 4 Dead 2 not be released as a stand-alone, full-priced sequel but as either a free update to Left 4 Dead or an expansion with full compatibility with basic Left 4 Dead owners.
-That Left 4 Dead owners be given discounts for Left 4 Dead 2, should it be released as premium content.

YOUR GROUP IS ONE OF THE MOST RETARDED GORUP I'VE EVER SEEN!
YOUR GROUP IS STUPID!
WHY WASTE YOUR TIME ON BOYCOTTING VALVE?
WHY NOT BOYCOTT EA? WITH THE SIMCITY **** UP LAUNCH AND THE DRM! YOU'RE ALL JUST A BUNCH OF RETARDS!
This is so totally relevant about valve today.
valve is still turning into the biggest pos company ive ever had the displeasure of spending my hard earned money on.
Hmm... how?
Let's see here... Free Updates for L4D1 and L4D2, 2 map packs has been released for L4D1 with 1 that is only for L4D1 only.
lol steam ...
well so much for this... L4D is still the same price on steam as its sequel, and considering the sequel is a newer better version of L4D its split the community unfortunately. I still prefer the first one TBH
It's the first time I see developers giving a ******** to their detractors. You wanted free content ? There you go ! A nice and shiny DLC (L4D 1) coming this summer.
U mad ? :)
XD

Lol, even I could tell you were being sarcastic, some people are just stupid...
So basically what you are saying is: since they put a lot of work and effort on this product they should ruin their hard work and give it away for free.
Uh right...
If you said that the first L4D should have been free since it comes as a L4D2 DLC I would have agreed with that.
