First of all, I am aware of "Valve Time", but still. It's ridiculous.

If you preordered the PC version of Left 4 Dead, you get to play the demo early starting on Tuesday, Oct 27. (You can enter a code in Steam that your retailer gives you if you preordered it at a store.) Well, Tuesday came and went, and the demo was never released. First it was delayed to 1:00 a.m. Wednesday morning, then it changed to 6:00 am, then to 3:00 pm, then 4:00 pm, now it's currently set to 5:00 pm. It keeps getting pushed right around the time it's supposed to come out.

What the heck, Valve?

EDIT- You can go here to check the status. Comments have been disabled :roll:

EDIT 2- It's out now!!

Dang, I'm going to be busy between this and Torchlight. I've been so busy I haven't even had time to play Torchlight yet even though I had it pre-ordered.

I didn't mind at first... but it's been 26 hours (that i've been following intently) with no relief in sight. I really doubt that it will release at 6 PM EST today. If I'm wrong, I'll happily eat my hat while smashing some zombies.

Delayed to 4PM EST, then 5 , and then 6. Right now it's 6:15 and it's not out. Valve is a joke right now.

Ehhh you'll get it eventually. Keep your shirt on. I love how people are like standing by their PC's with a clip board and a stop watch. T-minus 1 hour and 20s till download is available!!

It is now well past 5:00 and it's still not here. Instead of a delay, the page just says "overdue"...

Ummm... Do you know it's been delayed 4 times already, Valve completely missing the dates, with no word from them? Right now they are 20 mintues past exact time. I've been waiting since it was first announce so this is very annoying. They are delaying it AFTER they said it would come out to. It's almost as if they are TRYING to piss us off.

Are you guys actually surprised by this? Valve is notorious for being late. Just be patient, it will be out soon enough.

Sir..these are difficult time right now in our society... Please remain calm and keep your voice down... It is a demo to an interactive computer game. It will be released very shortly and you will be able to briefly play the sequel to l4d - you know what you are getting. I promise you that everything is going to be alright!

honestly with the "leaked" movie released a few days back I would not be surprised if this is an underhanded attempted to generate more press, generate more anticipation for the game. These guys hired a marketing guy that said give 1 out of 25 games free for more sales....I'm sure he has come up with a lot of other techniques to increase press that costs them nothing. MS jumped the gun no doubt because they want it on their system first. The final possibility is they came up with a game breaking bug right before demo time on PC only, trying to fix it fast.

45 minutes overdue by Steam's watch... Still no word from valve. I think I'll just play more Borderlands and check back in an hour.

haha wow same time.

Lol we did it again.:lol:

Hm it seems my video driver is outdated (I got a warning from steam where it say that the outdated driver could cause problems if I play the demo now). So I am going to update first just to be safe.
