The well-known L4D2 Boycott Group a group who was against Left 4 Dead 2 since it’s announcement has decided to close it’s doors on October 21st. The owner of the group know as “Agent Of Chaos” has said the group has completed it’s mission which was to make sure the first L4D would still get updates. Agent Of Chaos and fellow leader of the group “Walking_Target” appear to believe that L4D will in fact continue to be supported by Valve and have proven this with the newly released Crash Course campaign which was released last September.
The announcement also goes on to say that it’s goal was not to turn people off to L4D despite it’s page where it says that members of the group refuse to purchase the game until their demands are addressed, which they were back in June. This news comes from a recent report on the L4D2 pre-sales alone make the game the fastest-selling product in Valve’s history. Whether these incidents are related or not is up to you.
But according to many of the comments about the announcement it’s just a sellout.
The boycott has failed, why? Because the owners are a bunch of easily pursuaded sell outs.
What. A bunch of fucking sellouts..
FUCK THIS, i am still not buying it, I am so mad at valve, it still should not be a full game.
Free trips to Valve HQ (and probable loot, t-shirts and free cola) apparently make people forget that the whole boycott started because the ‘content’ scheduled for L4D was held back and re-packaged (EA style) into L4D2.
Liars! They bribed you to give up the boycott.
You guys are sellouts…
how much valve payed you guys to write this?

I love how people think that if they don’t buy Valve’s new game it’s going to kill them. How many copies do they sell continuously? How many old games have they made that they STILL get paid for? Yeah. The boycott group was retarded to begin with. Let your opinion be heard, be prepared to be ridiculed for it.

I find it funny that the boycott achieved absolutely nothing.

Personally, what I find best about this is that at least half and probably more of the people who ‘joined’ the boycott will buy the game whatever Valve do.
