The biggest issue IMHO is that, despite a full decade of technological evolution, it doesn't really do anything better than the game it's attempting to be a spiritual successor to, which kinda sucks when said game is $50 cheaper and has mod support.

Wondering how much of L4D was thanks to valve's help. Or lots of the old devs left the studio since then.

I think after "Valve South" (aka the original Turtle Rock) was disbanded, only a small number of devs stayed behind to form the new Turtle Rock while everyone else moved on to either Valve's main office or other nearby studios. Combine that with ten years of comings and goings to and from different studios as the tides shift and change, and there probably aren't a lot of L4D veterans left at Turtle Rock. Or Valve, come to think of it - I know the lead writer/producer on the L4Ds started his own studio and is working on The Anacrusis, another L4D-alike that also doesn't look all that good.
