Can't be bothered to wait anymore :/

Just dissapointed we don't get to play the demo when Valve announced we would be able to, ah well, no biggie.

This is straight from the L4D2 chat:

You gotta laugh. They playtest and bugfix the demo on release day lol. They've had how much time??

There are a lot of players waiting, staring at the screen, refreshing page, restarting steam. At the very worst, VALVe should have just said "delayed until further notice" and not keep adding 1 hour onto the anticipated release time. That's like teasing a dog with a battered covered mars bar when he's chained to a wall. They don't want to let players down by saying "delayed until further notice" but it ain't half as bad as adding an hour that never comes.

I maybe missing something here, but is there even an official announcement about this latest delay?

If you did something like this in a company, you would expect your P45 shortly after.

I'm can honestly say that i'm not angry at all about it though. I'm disappointed and I expected more, but i'm glad we are getting a demo at least and we all know it's going to run sweet on our rigs, so it ain't all that bad.

To be fair, it's only for a demo available to pre-orders only :p

Yes, I have pre-ordered and have been waiting, but would prob prefer not to play, than play something with a serious bug issue (which it must to delay like this) and rage at it :)

Valve are one of the few developers I trust these days, so I'm sure they are doing the right thing :)

I just don't see how they can give a definitive time and go completely backwards on it at the last minuite then give a new time and go back on that... again.

It's ready when it's ready I can live with, but giving out times and then gong back on them is rather irritating and poor communication.
