Too bad they don't know they don't have to download it. Once it's in their library it's not coming back out.

Quote:
To celebrate the holidays in a special way this year, Left 4 Dead 2 will be free until 10AM PST 12/26.

It will be free as in, grab it now, pay no money, and it is yours to keep forever – FOR FREE!

To claim your L4D2 gift, all you need to do is install it.

If you don’t install, it goes back to its regular price and you miss out! The zombie apocalypse is more fun with friends so make sure to tell all your mates to install it as well.

To help spread the holiday cheer, all current players can earn the achievement – Ghost of Christmas Present – Spread cheer by helping a free holiday player survive a campaign.


So Valve thought through, as usual....

i think it was probably originally that you had to play it, but once they saw how fucked their traditionally unstable servers had become, they changed it to just 'click and its yours'.

Nah, it was just poor wording on their part. You only had to click install which adds it to your library which is permanent. Then you can just cancel/pause it.

I think they just said install because, if I remember right, that's what the button says instead of buy now.

Play a lot of public games, in any video game and simply friend invite the few that actually want to play as a team and invite those people to your server later for future co-op games. Playing publicly hosted games are great that way, sure there is a lot of terrible players, but once in a while you meet good ones, which makes public gaming smart to do on occasion in my opinion - especially when your current friends-list isn't into a specific game anymore.

It's like the textbook example of a game meant to be played with your friends instead of randoms.

95% of the time, yes!!

but i still say one of the best and most memorable multiplayer experiences ive had, was playing left 4 dead with a bunch of random chinese guys. they were pretty good, and they were singing in chinese while they played, it was hilarious. never would had that experience if i just played with people i knew!!

Great move to advertize L4D; So the Left 4 Dead 3 rumors/leak may turn out to be true. Not sure what they could add to a third installment to make it worth playing over the previous ones though.

Pretty cool Valve did this. I was able to get a copy for my son, took f'ing forever to get the site working though. I don't think they were quite prepared for that amount of traffic. Told some friends too. I already had it myself, gotta love the price for those who don't. As for all the fewls on Steam forums complaining, fuck 'em. I paid $50 for the game and could care less if people get it free. Now maybe it's possible to find a game. Last few times I tried, there was pretty much nobody playing it.
