Yes i agree in theory with you and manual updating is the way it should continue to be and the consumer shouldnt be forced down the auto update route. I to hate steam and many of its designs. However in some cases an update is more aimed @ the multiplayer side of things and so i guess if your wanting to play through the single player game and dont intend to go online then why update if its running perfectly ?. (in my experience of manual updating i have to say that many times i to dont bother to update a game if its running fine as im an avid single player the majority of the time). Auto updating isnt the way forward. Lets face it to in that some times an update can cause more problems with a game thats running ok untill an update is applied.
