"Vocal Left 4 Dead 2 detractors and founders of the boycott against the game, Agent of Chaos and Walking_Dead, will be putting an end to the group established to protest the sequel as of next week... '"We have accomplished everything we can on our manifesto," wrote Agent of Chaos on the group's Steam Community space. "We've been dealing with Valve ever since our group started, then we met them in-person and now we're at the point of concluding our discussions. Our goal wasn't to steer people away from L4D2, it was to get Valve's attention and have them support original L4D. We succeeded and that's where our mission ends; nothing more or less."'

"We have realised we have accomplished hardly anything and now we are going to stop bitching like little girls and go out and buy the game. WHOOPS?"

Yeah, great.

Yeah I'm still on the fence re: the boycott. Valve didn't invite me personally to the headquarters to buy me off, so we'll see.

Did people boycott TF2 when it was coming out too?

I remember seeing a lot of people protest the art style and gameplay changes.

Fortress Forever was a response from people who did not like TF2's gameplay.

TF2 wasn't really Boycotted, but then again, it also wasn't one year after TFC.
