    Was hoping they might have added an option to Not Update/Skip Update or Never Update, or some other means to preserve the currently installed version. I don’t like Valve’s (and other tech businesses’) assumption that updates are always good.

    The only games for which these update settings make some sense are always online, “service” games. Other games are largely fine to indefinitely delay updates on, or never update at all.

      The functionality to stay on a specific version or downgrade is already available on a per game basis if the game devs want to implement it, but it would be great to make it available by default.

      Yup, I play a ton of older games, and the only updates seem to be changes in shaders or whatever. If they are going to charge something, it’ll probably be to stuff a launcher in there or something, so I don’t want them.

      Since they are updating games to remove content or add launchers (which are a nuisance and sometimes break compatibility) it’s a serious pain that you can’t revert to an old version or at least opt out of updates.
