For those of you that do not know, Left 4 Dead 2 suffers from some serious crashing to desktop problems.  There is no error, no nothing, just a crash and your back at the desktop looking at the background.

But the thing is, the demo ran fine. So  wWhat” is the problem?

Here are some of the ideas that crossed my head:

The demo was fine tuned to show at exhibitions.  If you go back over the past year, just about every time L4D2 was shown to the public, it was the levels from the demo.  And “why” was that?  Maybe the rest of the game had problems?

L4D2 was pushed out the door just in time for Christmas sales.  With a nice surge in profits around November – December, the company can better afford to hand out Christmas bonuses.

What ever happened to “a game will be released “when its done”"?  Was L4d2 really play tested?  Did it go through all of the quality control measures like other Valve games, or was it rushed?

Regardless of “what” the problem is, the release of Left 4 Dead 2 has been ruined.
