Left 4 Dead DLC Is Free for PC and 360

[Yog Sothoth]

And I can just imagine M$ responding "Hahaha, where will you go then? Mac and PS3 exclusives? HAHAHAHAHAHA!... WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Nah it just means they'll be charging us for the much larger expansion in the pipeline.

BTW, what is this thing you call a "PS3 exclusive"...?

*Snip*
Who's going to complain about that?

I am, cause thew whole damn game should be free, it's so small.
I mean, fuck, in my day, we called something like L4D a mod, and it was FREE!

I would argue that Left 4 Dead is a bit more than a mod when you take into account that it has 20 maps and the AI director...

I rented L4D, I really liked it, but I didn't think it was worth $60, maybe I'll buy it now.

Also, I've heard rumors of the Dawn of the Dead mall as dlc. Anyone heard of this?

You know, those things that come out from time to time that are okay, but don't justify the purchase of a system? A PS3 exclusive. Like MGS4 or LBP.

I do know that there is a Dawn of the Dead mall L4D map for the PC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atuZvbEPsAg

Oh right, those things... since I can count the "exclusives" Sony has on less than one hand, I don't give them much consideration....

 

[DamienHell]

Has anyone heard any rumors as to the release date of this? Month?

Nope... all Valve has said so far is "this spring" which could mean next fall for all we know....

So put down your pitchforks and save your "In my day we called this a patch! And it was free to everyone!" hollering.

But I had a mob and flaming torches and a soap box and everything! Damnit!!

Kidding, of course. This sort of thing is completely not unexpected from a developer such as Valve.

...But it was unexpected from Microsoft... I think that all of us fans knew that Valve didn't want charge anyone for this stuff; the question was if M$ would permit them to do so on Xbox Live...

Ahh, but there's the rub. I couldn't care less about Live. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race, and whatnot.

Valve wubz us

 

[hippo24]

Valve is truly amazing.

I have more respect for them then possible.

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Just...awesome...

 

[SidVicious]

Haha, yes! This made my day.

cool... But I was expecting this. Left 4 Dead is about new content... and more importantly : User generated content. I'm happy Valve made some new stuff, but I can't wait for some users to start showing us their creations.

The SDK will come with the new content on the PC, so it's going to start happening soon!

 

[TwistedEllipses]

Good to hear. All praise to them.
