Valve Wants L4D2 PC Mods on Xbox Live

Xbox Live Marketplace could be host to premium mods.



Valve, in an interview to OXM UK, expressed desire to bring user-created content from the PC version of Left 4 Dead 2 to Xbox Live. They may even look to sell them and pass on the earnings back to their authors.

"One of the things I'm thinking about is how we work within that [Xbox Live] system," said Valve's Yasser Mailaka, "and one of the things I'd like to do is to allow these modules that are being released on PC to somehow integrate with Microsoft's system."

However, Valve are apprehensive about putting up copyrighted material as evidently the modding tools will immediately be put to use to re-create popular zombie movies and characters. "We'll have to filter them, we can't allow any copyrighted materials, so it's going to have to go through a process. But we're hoping perhaps we can shepherd the really popular campaigns onto 360. And you know, if they are a paid system, perhaps that could go back to the authors. I think that would be a great story."

It's a fantastic idea, but will Microsoft soften to it?
