Left 4 Dead 2 Boycott Group is Officially Over
October 14, 2009 by srfto
As of today the Left 4 Dead 2 Boycott group on Steam community is officially disbanding on October 21st. Agent Chaos and Walking Target, leaders of the boycott group, released their statement on why they are disbanding the group.:
Effective Wednesday October 21st 2009 at 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, this group will be closed.
People have lost sight of why we’re here. The comments are always full of trolls, people bashing Valve and phishers. What is more, people are unwilling or unable to wait for Valve to follow through in any cohesive way. Valve is at least trying to make things right, there will be speed bumps on the way, however we will get there. Even if it is not as quickly as we would like. The boycott has served its purpose and it is now up to you all as individuals to decide what is right for you.
As for the boycott group succeeded or not:
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.
I don’t know about you guys, but it seem like the group didn’t actually do anything..since I personally think that Valve was going to release those content for L4D and still move on with Left 4 Dead 2 with or without the boycott group. Already there is a bunch of angry comments on the site.
What do you guys think of all this?

Can you prove that they were going to release the additional content?
Where is your source?
So you’re buying a $60 disc for a large amount of updated content, rather than paying $20 three times for a little bit of updated content each time. What’s the difference. Everyone needs to stop whining.
