Hi All
Have not seen this posted so figured I would mention it;
Left 4 Dead 2 (Low Violence Version) is on sale on Steam for US$4.99 for the next 33:41:34.
This version features toned down violence due to Australia's lack of a R18+ rating at this time.

(MODS: This is not related to Steam Summer Sale, so have linked via google, let me know if this is not allowed)
I've made my version uncensored by changing a number in a text file it took like 10 secs
I did that when it first came out and only worked for offline play, for online it reverts back to censored.
say if you play with your mates and you all change the file does it revert back automatically?
nah but when you have the number changed you cant get achievements, cant host your games on dedicated servers (unless you buy one / setup yourself) and cant join people who havent changed it. need to make sure all your mates change theirs.
Sad that this is the censored version :(
I'd + it if it was full version (unless the sale also applies to US version, and people can use their regular 'methods' to obtain that? In which case I'll + it.)
From what i understand it will be on the US store as well…
Is anyone with a US account willing to gift the uncensored edition for $5?
Just checked - yeah it is on the US store for $4.99
is it easy enough to make a make US account and gift to self?
no, you need a usa billing address and ip address and credit card
easier to get someone in usa to just gift it to you and you paypal them the money
Can you link directly to the source please?
dont think I can as due to the steam sales the .steampowered links are blocked.
ahh roger, will edit :)
For all of your concerned about the censorship, google Left4Uncut.
I'm using it, confirmed that it works and is great.
Agreed, works well!
Humm any issues with gettin online games with left4uncut?
no issues at all.
i've been able to play on all servers.
i.e steam, official dedicate, local, and so on (i think there's 4 types to choose from in game)

Consequently I ended up getting it gifted from a very decent chap named Ace who happened to have an offshore account.
Thanks for that mate; I ended up bribing some Israelie bloke an extra 10% to buy it for me; 13gig download so hopefully it's not censored.
5.5 shekels you can't go wrong. Or did you get the 4 pack?
went the 5.5 option shekels, i wonder if steam frowns on this sort of thing?
more clowns less frowns. i guess many folks are surprised it was censored here in the first place.
Aye; did seem a little silly; hopefully R18+ stops the madness!
Anyone willing to gift a 4-pack US version to me?
i would if i could mate
all i can suggest is get on steam and see if you can find anyone overseas that may be willing.
I managed to get someone overseas to gift it to me. It's quite a bit of work but hopefully it'll be worth it =D
it's bloody.
It would be worth mentioning that some people have suggested getting a US friend to gift the game may be a different version…
