I bought a gaming PC years ago, and I hate booting it up to play my Steam library, because of the constant, unending updates.
Didn't turn on your PC for a week? Enjoy a 45-minute wait while Steam downloads and installs yet another giant update, preventing you from playing anything until it's done.
If this is going to be like that, I'm out. Even though a device like this is what I've been looking for.
That is configurable, from within Steam. You can install updates on demand if you'd like to only update prior to playing. If you're not wanting updates at all, just keep it in offline mode until you need to go back. It's even adjustable per-game: you can keep your THICC titles to update on demand and the lightweights to keep updating as needed.
