The only reason most of the L4D junkies I know agreed to pre-order the game was because of the demo releasing today. Now after waiting weeks for it, Valve pushed it back to tomorrow at 2AM!!! Massive FAIL! You should see how the forums at steampowered.com are lighting up like a Christmas tree. Last time I will pre-order a Valve game for sure.

Oh noes, delayed a day! Get the over it! Go outside, play a different game, cry into your pillow about how much your life sucks. The demo will still be released a day late.

Right, so the next you get something different than you paid for then according to your logic you should just shut up and deal with it instead of speaking up. Thanks for being a concerned citizen.

Don't get me wrong, when I buy something I expect to get what I want but it's less than a day pushed back. Chill out man. And I think the reason everyone pre-ordered is because of the $34 price tag.

Um, you did not buy a demo, you bought the game. Pre-orders get pushed back all of the time, sometimes months or even years, so I'm not sure why anyone would whine about a 1 day delay for a demo. I can't believe this is actually a big concern in your life...people will complain about anything...

There are of course more important things to be pissed off about, but I wasn't exactly posting on biglifeproblems.com. This is *supposed* to be a gaming community, and your attitudes frankly suck as consumers. Sure, demos are released late all the time, but in this particular case, Valve used it specifically to sell the game so it is indeed a part of why I (and many others) bought the game.

It's cool if you prefer to play the Halos but since L4D was a more important game for me, of course I'm pissed about it. Big concern in my life? Hardly, but you must be a better role model for all the kids of the world who should learn to just take a lie to the face and deal with it.

Valve's pathetic Steam servers probably can't even handle the load.

I was attempting to re-install Red Orchestra and both of it's mods. Throughout the day the maximum speed it was downloading was at 80 kB/s. Several times it said
"Steam servers are too busy to handle your request."

Tons of people can't even download the demo for Torchlight off of Steam.

Oh boo ing hoo, one day, go play with your rattle.

You are not entitled to the demo. It is a bonus of purchasing the game. You're entitled to the game, which you paid for, and it is not out yet. You're at the mercy of the developers and you have no right to complain.

No big deal. One day is nothing.

My brother preordered on Amazon, will he get a preorder code? He checked his email and didn't see anything about it.

you pre-ordered l4d2, you deserve every misfortune.

I could really care less about the demo anymore, but it's still funny to watch Valve pour salt in an open wound.

Would anyone be willing to give away their code..?

OK, all these other $$$$$$s here can burn in hell for being so accepting of Valve's -up, but yours is the first comment I've seen so far that is actually acceptable. And you. That is all for now.

EXACTLY!!

He might have to email Amazon customer service for that. Good luck, they use the morons that got fired for incompetence from Dell.

This is an invalid statement. If you buy an Apple Macbook and get a bonus iPod, are you not entitled to that bonus either? Are you "at the mercy" of Apple since you "paid for" the Macbook?

As a consumer, you ALWAYS have the right to complain, or else we'd all be lunching on ratmeat at McDonald's because nobody thought you should say anything when you got a rat McRib that other time. Really, I hope that someday when I open up a business I have such an understanding bunch of suckers for customers.

If that iPod had a tentative and subject-to-change release date, then you would be right. But that's not the case.

Solution: Panic, cancel pre-order, new boycott.

So are you going to be rip shit if for some reason the actual game gets delayed? Seriously though if you are set up a video camera I want to see your brains covering your keyboard after that announcement.

Shit happens, shit gets delayed. Think of it this way, do you get everything done on time?
