När Left 4 Dead 2 utannonserades på E3 var det många zombieslaktarfans som fick stora leenden på läpparna. Men långtifrån alla var glada av avtäckandet, särskilt inte medlemmarna i Steam-gruppen L4D Boycott (NO-L4D2) som i skrivande stund har samlat ihop nästan 15.000 medlemmar.
Gruppens klagomål kretsar kring hur Valve ignorerar ägare av det första spelet och att man inte hållit vad man lovat angående nytt material. Och att spelet är "för ljust", tydligen. Detta är gruppens nio främsta argument:
Significant content for L4D1 was promised, and never delivered.
Valve put little faith in L4D1 since they almost certainly started working on L4D2 right after release.
The fact that L4D2 is nearly identical to L4D1 will decimate the community for both games.
The announced date is not nearly enough time to polish content or make significant gameplay changes.
The new character designs seem bland and unappealing so far.
L4D2 is too bright to fit in with L4D1's visual aesthetic.
The fiddle-based horde music is extremely disliked, though the differently orchestrated music is otherwise welcome.
L4D2's release will result in a drop in quality and frequency for L4D1 content, even compared to before.
The community has lost faith in Valve's former reputation for commitment to their games post-release.
