Left 4 Dead 2 PC Demo Remains Locked [UPDATE]

News
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

 

Despite numerous people pre-loading Left 4 Dead 2's exclusive demo, PC users appear to be left in the dark waiting for it to unlock.  It was originally scheduled to unlock sometime today, October 27th, but so far we just have an "unreleased" status.

We would assume Valve is aware of the problem, there's plenty of angry forum posters everywhere, but so far they haven't responded.  Thankfully Xbox 360 owners are unaffected, and many have download and are currently playing said demo.  We'll update the post as soon as our status changes from "unreleased" to "impending zombie horde."

Update:  It looks like Valve has officially moved the demo till 11PM Pacific - or 2AM on October 28th Eastern.  

Update 2:  And it's pushed back again.  Official time of unlocking is today, October 28th at 1PM Eastern.

Meh. With Borderlands only releasing yesterday. I'm not too worried about it being delayed.

I have plenty to play until it is released.

I feel the same way, I didn't preorder to get early demo access, I did it because it was cheaper.

I have Borderlands and Torchlight to play

I was still looking forward to playing it.

This is the point when I should probably fess up and say that I started a petition to have Valve delay the demo's release by a week so I could play it. Well, it succeded. Huge milestone in this guy/gaming company relations.

I still haven't got my 360 code from Amazon. It's killing me.

The demo is currently taunting me with its unreleased status, but I don't care- I've got Borderlands!

Is Amazon supposed to be providing 360 demo codes? I keep checking my e-mail hoping to see something, but as it gets later in the day, I'm starting to lose hope! I didn't see any explicit mention of pre-order demo codes when I pre-ordered, I was just hoping that they might happen to be one of the vague "participating retailers" mentioned on the Left 4 Dead web site!

My friends, surprisingly, don't mind the update. They're having too much fun with Borderlands. I thought for sure they'd be bummed about the delay, but. . . Nope!
