Questions about Steam

You can't easily maintain separate game versions for PBW compatibility. Never have I been able to just update SE4 and not worry about different PBW games updating at different times (or not at all in a few cases).

AFAIK, you can't easily decide when to patch and when not to patch. Maybe you can disable it, but who knows.

You have to wait for their slovenly delayed patch schedule.

Buying from Steam is a class A bad idea. Just pay $40 to EB Games.

I think the reality will be that Steam determines the current PBW version. If there's at least one Steam player in the game, no one else will be able to apply the patch until Steam does. Likewise, once Steam applies the patch everyone else in the game will have to as well.

Not that this is a good thing...

Actually, Steam updated within hours of the patch being released. Valve's pretty quick to get on top of these things.
