[Unofficial] Left 4 Dead 2 Giveaway


Recommended Posts

EDIT: Congratulations to Blackhearted (#26) for winning the L4D2 copy!

Hello all,

I was given two copies of L4D2 as a result of the recent erroneous VAC bans on Steam. No one that I know wants the extra copy (either because they already have it or are not interested), so I have decided to hold a little unofficial giveaway here. :)

All you have to do to enter is post in this thread and follow the simple rules below. I will post here sometime on Saturday 7/31 (probably sometime around noon eastern standard time) to mark the end of the entry period and post almost immediately afterwards to announce the winner. To eliminate any bias, I will use a random number generator from two to the number of posts in this thread to select the winner. You can see your number if you look in the upper right corner of your post.

Simple rules:

- You must have joined Neowin on July 28, 2010 or earlier.

- You can only post once in this thread to keep it fair for others. If you are selected and I find that you have posted more than once, I will reselect.

Do not post your email or steam account. This will be handled through private messages if you are the winner.

If needed, I will keep reselecting until an eligible person is found.

Please note that you must have a Steam account in order to receive the game.

I encourage you to post only if you actually want the game.

Neowin is not affiliated with this giveaway.

Good Luck! :rofl:

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
