Left 4 Dead 2 Free Until Tomorrow Morning

You might be wondering why Steam is having some problems today, despite smooth performance throughout the rest of the holiday sale. The answer is simple. People love free stuff.

Valve is offering Left 4 Dead 2 free for all members today. The deal is good through 10 am Pacific on December 26, 2013.

You need to be sure to install the game to secure your license. If you don't, it returns to its regular price tomorrow and will disappear from your library. Unfortunately, the volume of users trying to download the game has crashed the service.

Stay tuned, as we're monitoring all of the online services today. Most are having some significant problems.

Our Take
Expect that the Steam storefront is going to be straining until the free Left 4 Dead 2 deal expires. It's a great game at an irresistible price.
