Valve Meeting with Left 4 Dead Dev Described as "Brutal"

Chet Faliszek, a Valve developer who worked on Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Half-Life, recalls a "brutal" meeting with Valve executives to finalize the game's box art. Faliszek was unprepared and unable to express his opinion clearly, but the meeting helped him solidify the vision for Left 4 Dead's core experience. The game's box art is now considered one of the best in gaming history.
