Left 4 Dead goes gold; pre-loading begins on Steam
For folks who use Valve's Steam download service, going gold means something different. Since there's no disk involved the folks who pre-ordered the game via Steam can now go ahead and pre-load the game onto their hard disks. On Nov. 18 they will be able to unlock the game and begin playing with no disk install at all. Meanwhile the free demo of the game will still be available for anyone to play via Steam until Nov. 17.

Does this mean I can't buy this game unless I install Steam?Posted at 12:58PM on Nov 14th 2008 by Spallit

You can buy retail copy too, but yes, you will need steam in order to play it. Unless you play on private servers hacked up by pirates.Posted at 1:34PM on Nov 14th 2008 by sicsided
