"Various Issues Between Valve and Microsoft"?
What does Microsoft have to do with Left 4 Dead 2 not supporting custom content? As far as I know, It really has nothing to do with Microsoft. Most computer custom content is derived from modding the game, in other words, going around the bounds of the game to add new content to the game. No console supports that kind of custom content. However, a console game developer can choose to add a mode within their game, which gives players the ability to create custom content. Games series like Far Cry, Forza Motorsport, and more (of course) have created modes that allow palyers to create custom content, without having to go outside the game to do it. Custom content creators for consoles are more difficult to add compared to ones for a computer game, because they have to be much more user friendly, it has to work with a control, it has to account for limited storage space and uniqueness of the console, and it has to be alot more "attractive". Even if Valve was planing to have a mode like this in Left 4 Dead, it really wouldn't make sense that Microsoft would stop them, because plenty of Xbox360 games have Custom content creators. Also, I don't think any console game has ever supported custom content sharing between a PC and console version, probably from a technical standpoint alone. However, if the statement is true, can we please find a link that supports it.--Verno 01:31, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's easier than saying Microsoft will only do it if each custom campaign has copyright stuff taken out first, and then having each map cost microsoft points compared to being free for PC users. Rather than make a tirade against Microsoft's policies, along with the forementioned console problems, it's just simpler to say "various issues". :3 Sera404 01:47, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well that's fine, but can you add a source link?Verno 01:51, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
