Following the news that Valve flew two of the main ringleaders from the
L4D2 Boycott Group to Valve HQ to sample Left 4 Dead 2 and hopefully dissuade any ill-feeling, the tables appear to have been turned!
According to an article over at Rock Paper Shotgun, an Australian modder going only by the name "Joe" contacted Gabe Newell requesting to be flown over to Seattle so Valve staff could preview his custom L4D1 campaign, only to be told that Valve were boycotting his campaign.
As a result, Joe is raising funds to fly both Gabe Newell and Erik Johnson to his house in Brisbane so they can preview his campaign.
