I'm hoping for L4D3 in my lifetime lol. L4D2 is still my most played game of all time (~3000 hours in that game). I love it.
Back 4 blood was just another "live service" game that stirred up hype, released in an extremely buggy state, poorly balanced, with terrible AI that was never fixed, without mod support or community servers. They cashed in on the initial surge of popularity, cashed in on the DLCs, and then it quickly died off because it didn't have any of the charm or reply value of the games they claimed to improve upon.
