On Galaxy I presume?

This can be done manually on a game by game basis by going to the game page, click MORE -> Settings -> Auto Updates Off.

If on the 1.2 preview, you can do this globally for all games by going to the GOG COM logo menu in the top left, click settings -> features, then turn off auto-updates.

Or just don't use Galaxy. That solves all the problems neatly for me.

Its like I always say on these types of questions. Its all about personal effort. If You put the effort in, download games and patches and such like manually, save them, catalog and archive them, then You are in control. This is the key point about drm free, it gives You the control. If you then go down the route of laziness, letting clientware do your things for you then You are rescinding control and hence have very little come back. They will do what they want with your product, saves, personal info etc. Do it yourself, always the best option.

Don't worry. I don't get people who use it, so I guess we're all clueless in the end.

To be honest the more annoying thing is that Galaxy seems to create a new desktop shortcut every time a game is updated.

Nope, bone idleness is out to get you. Not saying clientware doesn't data mine everything of course, but the big problem is laziness.

It's not laziness, it's convenience. Today's gamer doesn't want to manually download, patch, archive, and burn discs because they see no tangible benefit from the time they waste doing it. The world has moved on and your boxes of carefully hand-labelled silver discs are an anachronism, and your reasons for hanging on to them just sound like empty paranoia.
