Left 4 Dead 2 Demo Pushed Back Until 2AM (EDT) - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Blah360;18050919]I don't care about the delay, all I want to know is WHY?! WHY, VALVE, WHY!??![/QUOTE] valve

[QUOTE=usaokay;18051332]Sure, Xbox 360 owners can get it earlier but not us.[/QUOTE] Microsoft handles the 360 updates. Obviously Valve fucked something up or did not have the servers optimized enough. Remember, they delayed it to make the demo somewhat better, whether you see the difference or not.

Yeah, honestly, did anyone not expect this? So now we know it'll be around 4:00 PM EDT tomorrow.

Weird my steam said my left 4 dead 2 demo has been finished downloading and its already done preloading and now its installing a steam client update.

[QUOTE=G71tc4;18049224]IIT: [b] People who didn't pre-order[/b] It's only a few hours, get over it! [b] People who pre-ordered[/b] I paid early to get an early demo! Honestly, I don't think 1 day is going to kill you. It's still an early demo, just minus one day.[/QUOTE] Did you also notice that the public release date went up by 8 hours? Hehe, I sure did.

I wonder what's so important that they had to push it back?

[QUOTE=Legend286;18052403]Did you also notice that the public release date went up by 8 hours? Hehe, I sure did.[/QUOTE] Boo hoo, 8 hours. Why not do something productive in 8 hours? (Or just play some L4D to get prepped up for the demo/game)

Don't know about anyone else but for me the problem isn't that it isn't being released when they said it would its that they should of just said it would be coming out on the 28th instead of changing it last moment.

Damn, it activates an hour before I finish work :( Oh well, at least I have something to come home to. [editline]09:40AM[/editline] Shit, just remembered that I have 2 shifts today... So I don't finish until 4 hours after it's started :(

They're biting the hand that fed them from the very start... They're giving the console users more and better shit at a lesser cost and we just get the short end of the stick... (Look at MW2 and well now L4D2, soon EP3 just wait and see)

In the mean time for those of you that didn't preorder and still want to try the demo... Here's the Steam link to start preloading. steam://install/590

[QUOTE=theguydude;18056320]How would you implement this?[/QUOTE] At most all it'll let them do is preload until the public demo goes live. But then, what the hell is the point of that? They can't play it any earlier.

Now it seems like its until 4 pm today, what the fuck? A whole 24 hours? Why?!

Why is my demo preloading again?! I'm really low on bandwidth...
