069Valve Justifies Left 4 Dead 2

posted by Meister on September 8th, 2009

In a recent interview with SlashDot, Valve’s Project Lead on Left 4 Dead, Chet Faliszek, tried to defend Valve’s decision to go ahead with a sequel so quickly after the original game’s release.

“Trust us a little” has been the company line over the past few months as Left 4 Dead 2 has filtered out of Valve’s development news. Disgruntled Left 4 Dead fans are concerned that the release of the sequel will mean the end of updates for the original game.

And why shouldn’t they be? Valve originally promised continuing updates and new campaigns for Left 4 Dead. None of those promises were met in the last year despite their being a main selling point of what can only be called a rather unfinished title.

Now Left 4 Dead fans are being slapped with a new title accompanied by a new $50 price tag. How’s that for loyalty?
