lol yeah, it does sound miserable. Why didn't you try AirMech at all? In a way I am glad you didn't so we can get into it fresh this weekend.
By the way, I am having some trouble buying games from Steam because I registered a US account and they won't accept my European credit cards. I even bought Steam points from Play-Asia, then redeemed them on Steam, and Steam STILL won't let me spend the fucking points in my account to buy a US game! And it doesn't give me the option to buy the EU versions either! Proxys don't help either. Fucking Steam checks your IP every second and no matter what the problem is, tells you to go fuck yourself and contact customer support, which asks you to make a NEW customer-support-exclusive account and wait in a giant fucking queue SO YOU CAN SPEND THE MONEY ALREADY IN YOUR ACCOUNT.
Fucking Steam lol. After all these years of hearing hype about it and how great it is I finally get it and it won't let me buy anything. Meanwhile, Sony lets you do whatever the fuck you want whenever you want, and Microsoft lets you do 90% of that, and the other 10% can be done via a proxy easy as pie. The most draconian DRM I've encountered is with Valve. The worst customer service. They treat you like fucking scum who doesn't deserve anything on their fucking site.
Anyway. You can tell I am pissed at them. What I was trying to say is that I am still struggling getting hold of L4D, and there doesn't seem to be any other digital store that offers it. Would a pirated copy work? If not, could someone gift me a European version of the Steam game, and I could PayPal them the money? The only other option I can think of is if I make another, European Steam account just to buy L4D.
