How do I update the game (PC)

Xbox should take some lessons from Steam.

No way. Steam sucks because it forces game updates on you. It's okay with primarily multiplayer online games but it really is horrible for some single player games when you want to run a specific game version for mods. You have to own the game before the current version, never unistall/reinstall it, or let the game get auto updated. It's a real pain.

You can deactivate auto-updates in steam and then get them when you want them.

Yeah I already said that in my post. Please re-read it for clarification............... Also, you cannot choose a previous version in a game you've recently purchased or uninstalled.

Bottom line, Steam sucks. Highly overrated.

You are an awkward little man......

Microsoft should follow the example set forth by GOG. You actually own the game. You're purchases aren't just a part of your "Steam Library". Additionally, there is no DRM, and you choose to update your games, use mods, and roll back updates you've applied as you see fit. You of course have to run a specific version when playing online multiplayer games.

The only thing Steam partially got right is their approach to VR. At the end of the day though Steam is still nothing more than a slightly better version of Origin with all of their rules and regulations and restrictions. However, Steam's company culture and ethics remain equal to Electronic Arts.
