Last week Steam was offering The Orange Box for $9.99 for one weekend only. This weekend, theyre spicing things up by offering gamers 24 hours of L4D for free.
Valve has revealed a special offer called L4D Freaky Friday. Basically youre getting 24 hours of Left 4 Dead for free with no obligation to buy. Your free trial will include access to the recently released Survival Pack DLC which introduces a new multiplayer game mode and two addition versus campaigns.
The way its going to work (we can assume), is that users pre-load everything at some stage between now and Friday and theyll be allowed play for 24 hours before being faced with some kind of insert coins here screen that offers them the chance to buy L4D, thereby unlocking the game so they can continue playing.
Check out the full post from Steam below:
Beginning Friday at 12:01 am GMT, the PC version of Left 4 Dead will be available for a free 24-hour trial via Steam. The free trial will include access to the recently released Survival Pack DLC, which introduces a new multiplayer game mode and two additional Versus campaigns. Those who wish to give L4D and the Survival Pack a try may now pre-load everything needed to play with no obligation to purchase.
Were still not exactly sure if the 12:01 GMT start time applies to customers in the U.S. but weve emailed our Valve guy and well let you know as soon as we find out. Wed figure it would make sense to get everyone hooked by offering them the chance to play all day, then reel em in at a minute past midnight on Friday when everyone is all geared up and ready to play through the weekend. The GMT start time will put us at a pacific start time of 16:01 on Thursday with an end time of 16:01 on Friday. Guess Freaky Thursday doesnt quite have the same ring to it.

Looks like Steam knows L4D well. Only providing a 24 hour preview will have a lot of people buying the game after because it takes about a month before it starts getting extremely boring and repetative.
Don't missunderstand, I love L4D and still play a game about once a week. It just gets very boring doing the same half dozen maps over and over again.
