    You and I have very different steam clients and experiences. You realise your original comment was quoting how to disable updates? Why don’t you read the links from there and find out.

    And developers very much have the ability to adjust how steam provides its updates, including the ability to stay on a particular update if you don’t want to update

      Clearly. 🙄

      Read again. You CANNOT stop updates unless a game has a version control.

      And developers very much have the ability to adjust how steam provides its updates

      Your point is? It is Steam forcing updates on the users, not developers. If you buy the same game from GoG and Steam only Steam version will force updates on you.

        Out of the 7 games I have installed 5 have the option to select a version and pause updates. Is it not that common for you?

        In any case it seems the developer has the option to do this.

        I agree with DRM free services like gog it is a better experience for the user if it’s available option for every game.

          Can you actually read?

          THE SAME GAMES WHERE STEAM FORCES UPDATES DON’T HAVE UPDATES FORCED ON GOG. THEREFORE, IT IS STEAM, NOT DEVELOPERS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS CRAP.

            I agree with you that gog provides a better experience but you started spitting at the mouth anyway. You okay?

            Developers decide whether to allow users to stay on particular versions. Steam provides the option but the games you use don’t use it. Sorry I guess?
