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.

Well we could act like rational humans instead of soulless automotons.

Or maybe, just maybe they should only license music for a product without any time restrictions or other strings attached. Purchasing San Andreas now a decade later digitally will give you a inferior product to those who purchased it physically when they were children.

This is not technology advancing and improving, this is soulless corporate greed on either the music publisher trying to wring as much money on royalties as possible or Rockstar being cheap and not caring about their products integrity.

If I buy a game I want to it be as complete and polished as possible and buying old titles I have nostalgia for with cut content is someone taking a dump on that nostalgia. Why the fuck should I ever buy from Rockstar again if I run the risk of my digital products being gutted of content. I would rather pay the modders repairing this fuck-fest of or even better pirates that give me the product as it was.

Fucking cutting shit out of your purchase and you ask why I called them greedy.
