Valve Admits Mistake, Gives Two Free Copies of Left 4 Dead 2

News
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

We've all made mistakes and most of the time, we feel better about owning up to them.  Valve recently had a little slip up when their anti-cheat software automagically banned 12,000 Modern Warfare 2 players from the PC version of the game.  Turns out though, they weren't cheating at all.

To make up for the little boo boo, Valve has responded in a big way.  They sent each and every user a copy of Left 4 Dead 2 as well as an extra copy to gift to a friend via Steam.  That's right, Valve gave away 24,000 copies of Left 4 Dead 2 because they are nice guys.  Talk about co-op!

The bans obviously have been reversed as well.  "This was our mistake," Valve President Gabe Newell wrote, "and I apologize for any frustration or angst it may have caused you."

oh great, now left 4 dead 2 will be infected with both zombies and little brats complaining about the lack of perks.

(before anyone blows up at me, that was a joke)

that sounds like a damn good deal to me.
