It is 100% forced. Don’t know about this specific game but number of Steam games must be updated to play them and fiddling with versions is hit and miss.
No, it applies to a number of single player games, the same games which don’t need any updates when purchased on GoG. It is Steam forced updates policy in play.
I’ve not come across a single player game where I wanted to pause updates and couldn’t. I guess you found them.
In any case, it isn’t a Steam policy, the developer must disable the ability to pause updates on their game as part of the manifest they upload to Steam. So, crappy developers.
Complete and utter rubbish. It is exactly the other way around. Steam forces the updates unless developers want to make different versions avaliable.
And no, you cannot “pause updates”. You can only choose if you want to update when update is available or wait till you want to play and then update before playing m
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

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

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.

Yeah some games have online components that must be updated to work.

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.
