Doug Lombardi: No demo of Left 4 Dead before release

Can’t wait to get your hands on Valve Corporation‘s Left 4 Dead (Xbox 360, PC)? Well, you’re going to have to wait till the full version of the game is out because a demo won’t be released before that time. To find out more, be sure to check out the full article.

Valve’s vice president of marketing Doug Lombardi revealed that there will be no demo for the upcoming survival-horror video game Left 4 Dead (Xbox 360, PC) before the game is released.

While this may be a bit of a bummer to gamers who were looking to get their hands on this zombie-riffic multiplayer game, Lombardi explained that they’re focusing on just getting the game out on the launch date and don’t want to compromise the schedule to release a demo. He explained this further:

It is something you have to schedule and it is another release, so you have to make the choice there between completing the game by a certain date and getting it out to folks who want the full game or trying to create more demand by doing a demo.

We’re not really sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. On one hand, the game making its deadline would be really awesome. However, a demo would allow gamers to see what they are going to spend their hard earned money on. What do you guys think?
