All of us should now be aware of the controversy surrounding Valve’s announcement of Left 4 Dead 2 (dubbed “Left 4 Dead Too Soon” by its critics) and more than enough of us have voiced our opinions on the matter (myself included), so I won’t bog this blog down with idle, if vehement speculation. Instead I present you with both extremes of the Left 4 Dead 2 opinion spectrum.

The first is a video put together by the folks boycotting the game on the Steam website which, while slightly overdramatic, manages to drive some strong points home. The second is an interview conducted by an Australian journalist with Valve’s own Chet Faliszek, wherein the latter defends Left 4 Dead 2 as a labor of love rather than the money grab so many consider it to be. Anyway, without further ado, here are the vids.
