Post L4D 50% off on steam this weekend
That's right for those of you that haven't noticed and don't own L4D yet and were/are interested in getting it when the price dropped, for this weekend only on steam you can purchase it for the measly sum of £13.49. What are you waiting for? ;)

Only profitable for UK though :(

Left 4 Dead 50% off, sounds interesting? Think again:
Steam UK: 15 euros
Steam EU: 22.45 euros
G2PLAY (g2play.net): 11.95 euros

Again we pay more than UK customers. G2PLAY has been selling Left 4 Dead for a really cheap price since start (I can rest assure you it's not a scam).

If you wonder what Valve has to say about G2PLAY see:
http://steamunpowered.eu/forums.php?m=posts&q=79

Which comes down to that if you ever might lose your account (hijacking or so) that you would not be able to recover it through the Left 4 Dead purchase (no box and no digital purchase from Steam itself, you still can through other purchases you've done on your account which you can use to proof ownership).

Beside that, judging from Valve's response, there shouldn't be a problem getting it from G2PLAY.

But after all, still buy at own risk, you never know what Valve might do against this in the future, even with the above reply.

UK currency might not be Euro's but it doesn't stop us buying stuff in Euro's.

Most likely the reason it's quoted in Euro's is to ensure they don't get screwed by any more exchange rate fluctuations.

Right now, £13.49 comes in at 15.09 euros, so that is why they have given 15 euros as the current price.

Since Valve started this new region selling the EU have been screwed over every single time as Vavle just priced all games at USD = Euro, which it don't...

I've just bought it, but for some reason, even though my steam account says I've bought it, the pre-loaded game doesn't update to say it's available, it thinks I still need to purchase it.

Anyone else had same problem? I've just deleted my local content and downloading again now.... :?

Had the same issue, installed the game, but it never showed up on my steam games list as available to play.

Reinstalling the whole thing fixed the problem however, so good luck :D
