Valve Flies L4D2 Boycotters to HQ to Prove Them Wrong

[VashtaNerada]

Too bad I didn't get rewarded for pre-ordering/supporting l4d2...Why would waste the time and money on these pricks?

Feeling self-entitled here you guys? (I mean the posters here). Anyways, I think Gabe Newell can go fuck off himself but I have to admit that is a well played move and one that put him in a better light. It may not be very effective, but it's was a good try nonetheless. BTW, thats a sweatstain. Ole' Boy doesn't need to wash his shirt, he needs to take a walk.

Rather than show the injustice of these two guys getting a free trip, Valve have been pretty clever and cool. By winning over two of the main leaders in this rather pathetic boycott, they have made all the other fools (who think that not buying Left 4 Dead 2 immediatly at launch will show Valve) to be the idiots that they are. nothing is going to be achieved by boycotting it. Left 4 Dead was a good game which was supported well, and still will be recieveing add ons as previously promised, and for those of us who after a whole year might want a new game... well now we have one.

L4D2 detractors are like the 9/11 truthers... you can show a brick exists by shoving it in their face and they will still not believe.

Or the Bithers.

If I were Gabe, I wouldn't trust the L4D2 detractor with holding the crowbar (he might get ideas).

"As far as this advertisement for L4D 2 is concerned, this just disgusts me. This group is nothing but a shill and has lost every ounce of credibility," posted Steam user Keeshin (and that would be one of the more polite accusations, too).

It's funny how someone can have a change of heart/mind and get called a shill or a sellout for it. Opinions aren't meant to be set in stone.

It's not like they could go over there and say "You know what? It's actually pretty shit".

You can't lose something you never had.

I hope to God you're referring to the boycotters...

...who else would I be talking about?

Your quote was a little vague. Technically you could have been referring to Valve (basically quoting what the boycotters said) or the boycotters (by turning their words against them).

Half Life 2: Episode 3 news?


Nope. So I don't care. They should've beat the crap out of Gabe and forced him to show them some HL2 screens.

I wouldn't badmouth Valve, because I'm sane.

I'd be in stitches if that would've happened.

Anyway, this pretty much proves that Valve cares about it's fans and about it's public image. Then again, did they actually deserve a trip like that? Fans like me feel a bit disappointed now.

 

[Irridium]

I see what Newell did.

He invited the heads of the boycott to change their minds, have them report back, and have the members of the boycott group turn on each other and eventually destroy themselves.

Well played Valve, well played.

 

[Lord George]

Quick I need to start Boycotting Half-Life 3!

But yeah this is why I love Valve

 

[JWAN]

Lol, wash your shirt was the exact same thing I thought of when i saw that picture.

I wish that they would have waited another 18 months before bringing about an LFD2

 

[spuddyt]

This is DAMN sensible PR - they made their single greatest detractors admit they were essentially wrong, whether or not that is "fair" is irrelevant.

 

[ssgt splatter]

Yeah, now maybe people will stop bitching about the game.

Spoiler

Or not. It's more fun to stay at the game angry than to accept defeat

 

[Chaossebba]

Awwwwwwwwwwww man, i wanted my hands on L4D2.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Let's focus on the real issue at hand here: Where the hell is HL2E3?
