How GoG.com is growing beyond a back catalog

I find it a bit disingenuous to say that they have pointless updates, every update has a change log right there on the updater to see what's changed. While the vast majority aren't features you rarely see a change go out that doesn't warrant going out.

I think it is the frequency and method by which steam updates that is the annoying part.

Google Chrome can do silent updates, which install themselves after you reopen the application. Why can't steam do this for all their non-security updates?

Are you guys on the beta client? It updates all the time. I didn't feel they were that often when I was on the mainline. IIRC both let you ignore the update, which solves keeps it from being annoying to me.

Nope. That was one of the first things I checked.

I find it funny that half of this subthread is complaining that the client isn't updated, and the other half is complaining that it's updated too much.
