Speaking at an event today sponsored by Eurogamer, Valveâs Chet Faliszek said the names for DLC packs found in the Left 4 Dead 2 demo were spaceholders only, put there as a test required by Microsoft.

According to audio of the event, Faliszek said:
If youâre reading in the forums and youâre reading about the âMiracleâ DLC or whatever, thatâs test code. To get tested through Microsoft certification we had to do test scenarios with DLC. We havenât actually come out internally with what weâre going to do yet.
The pick-apart of the Left 4 Dead 2 demo also revealed references to the original survivors. While Faliszek didnât mention that when he explained the DLC file names, earlier in the talk he did say âTheyâre not dead, so weâll see what happens with that. Theyâre not undead either.â
Big thanks to Owen D-J, Stewart M and David S for the tip on this.
