Left 4 Dead series sells more than 12 million

4.5
The Left 4 Dead series has sold more than 12 million copies, Valve writer Chet Faliszek noted in an interview with VG24/7. Faliszek talked about the company's approach to promoting its games, saying Valve doesn't rely much on marketing because "when a game does really well at pre-release, they're going to know that you're not just talking a bunch of PR crap."

"We just let the game speak for itself because the internet has made this thing where you can't pull the wool over people's eyes any more. They're going to know you're hyping," he said. Either the zombie apocalypse creates some high-quality wool, or Left 4 Dead must be a pretty great series.

CrAzYsHoOtEr was a really good co-op game

Hez
King- This game is soooooo old


Yeah, it is old but as it's sold over 12 million copies they would share it. You don't sell 12 million straight away.


old and awesome i really love the L4F series


Me too. LFD 2 was my favorite by far.
