Left 4 Dead 2 boycott ends after co-founder meets Valve

All is happy and good in the land of Left 4 Dead 2 fans.

Well, OK, not exactly but the co-founders of a group boycotting the upcoming game are now satisfied with Valve’s efforts to support the original L4D.

Today (October 14, 2009) the boycott leaders announced the closing of the group and, at least in their eyes, an end to the boycott. Valve flew group co-founder known as Agent of Chaos to its studio for a free tour and to assure him that the first game in the successful zombie shooter series would keep getting support.

Dismemberment removed from Left 4 Dead 2 to allow sale in Australia

The sequel to zombie slaying hit Left 4 Dead has toned down its violence so it can be sold in Australia.

That nation’s Classification Board refused to give the game a rating last month because of decapitation, dismemberment and dead bodies remaining on the ground. Australia has no “Adult Only” (AO) classification for games as the ESRB does. If a game can’t make the MA15+ rating, it can’t be sold in Australia.
