That's fucking retarded. There are plenty of games with incredibly mutilated zombies on the covers and nobody has made a peep.
Fuck humanity.
Fuck humanity.
Forget the rest of the game, you know, the dismembering and blood everywhere and the cursing and stuff. No, we have to change the cover because it might offend someone.
This is fucking ridiculous.

Hey, it's Chet! That dude is totally amazing: one of our "4" left our game presentation early, and he came over and asked us "can I kill some zombies with you dudes?" while telling us the nuances of the game.
I don't exactly understand how the ERSB works in this situation, but would there be any way Valve would be allowed to release the original cover at a later date to people who purchased the game, or something like that? Or would it not make much sense in the end? Just curious!
Their just scared that they might take off all of em except the middle finger when the third game hits.
They should do something different. Seems kind of lazy to use the same cover and just photoshop out 2 fingers. Also, wasnt the 4 fingers supposed to represent the 4 survivors. If they keep following this cover logic what the hell are they gonna do when they make Left 4 Dead 4??? THEYRE DOING IT ALL WRONG!
What. Since when does the ESRB even have the power to do this? Granted, I can see why you wouldn't want, say, a bulging vulva on the cover for a game, but we can't have three chewed off fingers for an M rated game, though we can have one? How does that make any sort of sense?
Well, censorship sucks and all, but this does seem to fit better. A "dead" left hand with four fingers remaining, holding two of those fingers up. Left 4 Dead 2. If two fingers were missing along with the thumb the sight gag wouldn't work anymore.
That covers horrible it looks like it's kind of saying peace now. As before it looked like a proper zombie hand.
Fuck the system lol

It's like how they censored the Saw 2 movie poster because it had two removed fingers.
The Germany Left 4 Dead box art is hilarious though. It's...just a hand. A normal hand, holding up 4 fingers. Wow.

I think valve should have a plastic slip case over the game so when you remove it the two fingers are ripped off.
It's lame that the ESRB is coming down on something so tame.
On the other hand I like the newer cover more. 2 fingers made no sense to me as it broke a lot of what the original cover stood for. The new one actually has more 'meaning' to it as it keeps the idea of 4 fingers -> 4 players L4D while still showing off the 2.

@Magnalon
I remember that! That was awesome. He was a very cool guy. And also very good at L4D2
Regarding the cover. I've seen move covers trillions times more distrubing than a hand with some missing fingers. What gives?

So the guy just died give the peace sign? O_o
Sorry dude, but zombies don't come in peace. Guess he learned that the hard way though, huh? Fucking hippies.

@CRAZYAPE69 It still looks like he is.
@Trevor It's only the peace sign if the palm is facing the person you are giving it to. The other way around it has a different meaning in parts of the world.

I like how you can't go a single L4D article without making fun of the boycotters, real matu...
Oops, forgot who I was talking to, MY BAD.

I don't like either design. Were it me, I would have tossed a second four-fingered hand atop the original one. More visceral, I think.
My only slight gripe is how lazy the cover design is.
Wouldn't this make it more offensive in the UK? It's pulling the fingers now.

So a missing thumb is ok, but chewed off pinkys and ring fingers are an issue? Ok. Well as long as the line is clearly defined...
