Valve's Own Leak: How a Censored Left 4 Dead 2 Trailer Made Its Way Online
Former Valve writer Chet Faliszek revealed that the company deliberately leaked its own Left 4 Dead 2 trailer after the ESRB refused to approve it for release. The leaked footage was the Zombie Survival Guide cinematic, which appeared online in October 2009, a month before the game's launch. Faliszek noted that the language in the trailer had to be toned down due to ESRB concerns.
