Because Bethesda doesn't provide the legacy versions on steam, unlike other mod focused games, afaik. Once you've updated your game, you are stuck with whatever version you have.

Sure, you can always download the right version from somewhere else, but I wouldn't count piracy + the risks coming with it as a viable excuse for their fuckup.

You can still access the legacy versions if you learn how to download the old steam depo manifest that is always archived.

Steam desperately needs to allow you to NOT update a game.

Isn't there a "disable automatic updates" button in Steam?

Wait... Can't you just pick a version in steam?

So far as I know, you still need to update to launch the game, so you need to disable automatic updates and play offline.
