    Too bad they got rid of the cross-platform play.

    Yeah, its a massive shame for those playing on consoles. The PC version will hold up by itself for years, but I can't see the console versions standing up for long.

    That was a subtle announcement many months ago, without any real explanation but I imagine it was a significant enough problem they couldn't solve.

    I imagine the problem is patching. Valve games receive minor updates about once a week for one reason or another, be it balancing, bug fixes or compatibility tweaks.

    Having to freeze the PC version while waiting for console certification on a patch that fixes a problem specific to a piece of PC hardware would be pretty clumsy and difficult to maintain in the long run.

    Actually, you will find that all Valve games' prices are converted properly, and even cost €2 less on average for the EU zone.

    The current US price of Left 4 Dead 2 is $19.99, while for EU it's €13.99.

    Awesome, just got addicted to the beta too. Played CSS from HS through to college, and now I'm working a job. CS just keeps coming along for the ride.

    Excellent, as soon as CSGO is out, they'll have DOTA2 and whatever surprises they have after.

    That's a fair price I suppose.
