Tom Colarusso writes "It was less than a year ago that Valve unleashed the Orange Box onto the world, showering gamers with a collection of some of the best games of the year, including Portal and Team Fortress 2. This year, it looks like Valve has done it again with the release of the Turtle Rock Studio developed Left 4 Dead, a zombie shooter that not only supports co-op gaming, but downright demands it. Left 4 Dead seems to take just about every zombie movie cliché, tosses them in a blender and hits frappe. What you get afterwards is a deliciously inspired gaming experience that seems to always get you to jump and scream, no matter how many times you play through the various campaign maps, whether it's from the unseen attacks from smokers and hunters or the ominous rumbling (and ensuing cursing) from an approaching tank."
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.

its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
He wants to launch all his projects initially through close beta.
TheGamer Writes "No game will ever surpass Left 4 Dead in the co-op horde shooter genre, so maybe it's time to move on."
It’s the simplistic design coupled with mod support that makes it unbeatable. I feel like it can only be succeeded by a remake or the same gameplay design with updated graphics, animations, weapons and new setting. Thing is, Valve doesn’t create or release games unless they feel it pushes the medium forward. They’re not interested in reselling the same content refreshed or not.
