The official release time of L4D2 is 2.5 hours from now, but Valve intended to release it 3 hours early; at least, that’s true if you go by Pacific time.
So technically it’s 30 minutes late but 2.5 hours early still. I think someone’s having trouble configuring the release:
At least, I’m pretty sure there aren’t seven editions of Left 4 Dead 2…
Edit: A few minutes later, there are still seven copies, but the date has been changed to Nov 16, 2009. And of course the duplicates were removed just as I typed this.
Edit 2: And of course, now the single listing has Nov 17, 2009 listed as the release date. They really shouldn’t do this stuff on a production server…
Edit 3: It ended up coming out just one hour “late”. The nerd rage literally crashed Steam’s forums. It was definitely worth the wait, though; I’ll write a post later this week about it.
