It really is annoying how whiny and obnoxious gamers can be. What's the absolute worst about the boycotters is that they feel as if the release of L4D2 is an attack on them. Valve, a business, is releasing a sequel to a hit game and are simultaneously taking a collective dump on the 1% (last time I checked the number of boycotters, it was 25,000, but that was a week or two ago) of the original fanbase that cares enough to complain. It's as if in their inflated egos, they believe that because they bought and played the game religiously, Valve is indebted to them; that Valve has obligations to them.

They remind me of kids who do chores because they think that this obligates their parents, who clothe and feed them, to give them some sort of compensation for it.
