L4D2 boycott "didn't change our plans at all," says Valve

Despite nearly 40,000 people signing a petition against the apparently overly early announcement of Left 4 Dead, Valve told CVG in London yesterday that it didn't make a jot of difference.

"It really didn't change our plans at all," said Valve marketing boss Doug Lombardi.

"As I mentioned we had plans to keep releasing stuff [for L4D1]. We put the Survival Pack out for free which I thought was pretty cool on 360 as well as PC - it's sort of uncommon to be able to get new stuff out that way."

That's where petitions get you, kids. There's more through there.
