OK, internet, we officially don't get it. You piss and moan about being nickel-and-dimed to death on every piece of downloadable unicorn armor, but then you'll rally around a dude in Australia and raise 3,000 bucks for him to fly Valve's Gabe Newell and Erik Johnson out to see his Left 4 Dead campaign that they jokingly claimed to be boycotting. All in the span of three days? Seriously?
We're starting to think the industry should be milking you for as much of your money as it can simply because you cannot, apparently, be trusted with it.

Kanye West is going to be left for dead if the Taylor Swift Defense Force has anything to say about it.

I think I prefer the "doesn't care about black people" meme myself, but oh, Kanye's amusing.
For being a bitch, that is. Or maybe because of that.

A donor list would actually be interesting, as I'm curious if Valve did front any of the money just for the press. A couple of grand is chump change for some good, funny karma in the gaming press.
Hell, just took another look at his blog, it looks like he did post every single donation made. Only a few were north of $100.

But no promises had been broken yet. They never once said they would stop making shit for the original L4D...a bunch of jackasses just assumed...and we all know what you get when you assume...

A man deserves that much respect for handing out free DLC for everyone to enjoy.

Lmao, I guess this is true. This is just too funny/ridiculous/awesome I'm just glad its happening. Now I just hope the video footage is just as off the wall as the original idea.

This is all just an elaborate scheme by the actual Left 4 Dead 2 boycotters. When Jabba Newell leaves his hut and flies off to Australia, they're going to sabotage Valve headquarters. In the face of such danger and with their leader far away, the Valve employees will just run around with their arms up in the air like so many spineless Grunts when their Elite leader dies. IT'S BRILLIANT!!!
