Left 4 Dead pre-orders miss out on Complete Pack

If you’re anything like us, then the apparently never ending wait for Left 4 Dead (which ended today!) will have whipped you into such a zombie crazed frenzy that you’ll have had no choice but to pre-order the game as soon as it became available on Steam, especially with early access to the demo thrown in to sweeten the deal.

Sadly though, it looks like Valve has decided to make all of those who pre-ordered Left 4 Dead via Steam look a tad foolish by launching the Valve Complete Pack, featuring every Valve game ever, for just $50 more.

While $100 is a fantastic bargain by anyone’s standards, especially considering the quality of the games included in the pack, it certainly would have been nice to have had the opportunity to pick up this offer back when we were shelling out $49.99 for justLeft 4 Dead alone.

Sadly that just isn’t an option though, and those who pre-ordered will miss out on the offer unless they want a second Steam copy of Left 4 Dead to send as a gift. That could be a good idea in the run-up to Christmas, but really, come on Valve, we like your offers but sort them out please! What about a general pick-and-mix offer with savings? You've left at least one of us crying in frustration in the office!

Did you pre-order Left 4 Dead and feel like you’ve missed out or do you already have all of Valve’s games anyway? Let us know in the forums.
