George Lucas would've gone back and modified people's VHS copies of Star Wars if he had had the technical ability to do so.

This is equivalent.

This is why I've never watched the three original firms.

This is one of the fucked-up things about Steam. Patching decades old games to remove shit because of some greedy jackass. And there is no fucking way around this shit in the options last I checked. It's either patch when Steam starts or patch when the game starts, and even if you would get it to run without running the patch in the future if you would reinstall the game that content would still be lost.

People really should shit more on Valve for not separating previous purchases with future ones after the fact.

There is a way around it, I don't know the details. But I was running fallout 4 with it sitting wanting to update for about a month by launching it through the nexus launcher so I would guess linking directly to the .exe may work or it may be due to me using the script extender not the normal .exe that it didn't trigger a forced update. I can't say how but it is possible assuming you have it already installed before the patch.

I'm guessing there was an option for them to obtain new licensing for the songs, with a new price tag. I'm guessing they said no.
