People don't expect major post-release content updates from any other developers, just Valve. They've released two major updates since release, adding a new play mode, expanding the original campaigns and creating a new (albeit short) campaign, yet still people grumble. I don't get it.





Some argue that the original game was incomplete to begin with and the initial price warranted these additions, which is probably valid. However, I've spent over 200 hours playing L4D and that makes it the best value game I've ever bought. I'm certainly not alone, yet still people grumble.





From what I've played of the sequel, it's a complete offering with at least twice the content of the original, though some are referring to it as a 'map pack' which is rather missing the point. The game obviously warrants its packaging as a separate game, a deserving sequel even, yet still people grumble.





To top it all off, at no point have Valve said that they will be ceasing further development of the original. In fact, they've gone to great lengths to reassure the community that they'll continue to produce new content.





To the doubters, I say stop grumbling and grab yourself a copy of this superb game. It might just put a smile on your face.





Oh well, rant over...
