'L4D2 Spitter ‘invented’ by L4D2 Boycotter', an article reads. Sounds like bull s!@# to me. I highly doubt that Valve stole an idea from the L4D2 Boycott. Two things:
1.) Valve has been working on this game, since the relase of L4D. I'm pretty sure Valve already had most of the game in the works, including weapons, and the new special infect. The idea for the Spitter was already there, just not annouced yet. Look at the L4D forums, you have tons of people, posting tons of ideas. Some one is bound to post an idea that already exists. They also said that the idea of the Charger was 'stolen' from another fan as well. Well, if you ask me, the Charge is basically like the Tanks hillbilly cousin.
2.) Common sense: If you're going to write a book, do you go onto the internet and post your idea for the book on the forums, so everyone can look at it, and steal your idea? NO! Well, if this idea was really yours, and it was that precious to you, why did you annouce it to the public? Why else do people post ideas on the forums? Hoping that a literary agent will pop up, and say, "Hey! That's a great idea!" If Valve did steal your idea, who cares, be happy that your zombie idea will be included in their newest video game. Unless you were going to create your own zombie game, where the Spitter was going to be on the special infected, in which case you shouldn't of exposed your idea to the public to be stolen in the first place.
They also say that the Spitter should be added to the origonal L4D, to fix some ingame problems. Hey, Boycott, get used to it, L4D2 is coming out. And they're not going to add all of the weapons, and new special infected to the origonal game either. If you want them so much, go buy the new game when it comes out.
For all the people who decided to post comments before you actually read the whole post, here is the article with the title: http://www.totalpcgaming.com/latest-pc-news/l4d2-spitter-invented-by-l4d2-boycotter/ And this whole post, is not based off of that one article, it is based off of the news/rumors streaming through the internet. Yes, maybe someone in the L4D2 Boycott group did co-operate to get the Spitter in the new game, but thats not stealing.
