Boycott Valve, get flown to Valve HQ

The leaders of the Left 4 Dead 2 boycott got a surprise treat this past week as they were given an exclusve preview of the game at Valve HQ.

Despite their obvious disdain for the upcoming title, the boycotters appeared pleased with its progress.

A statement on the boycott’s Steam community page reads:

As for L4D2, things seemed balanced and ‘tight’ and did not feel like a rushed job. While we were visiting their offices we personally witnessed what can only be called a small army of artists, coders, mappers hard at work, which explains the rapid transformations in artwork that we’ve all seen…What we can say with confidence is that the quality of gameplay in Left 4 Dead 2 is not in question; and it will only get better (from what we understand, almost daily testing of game builds by most of the staff at Valve).

Ultimately, however, Walking_Target and his friends promise they won’t stop the boycott until their “individual concerns are addressed.”

Head over to the L4D2 Steam Community Boycott Page for the full scoop.
