Now, I find it extremely hilarious that you blame Steam for the Developers problem.

whether windows, macos, mozilla firefox or ootp, it is not smart to update immediately. a prototypical "fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice shame on me." situation.
Since this is known, the fact Steam does not allow some control is most definitely steam's fault and part of the problem end-users are experiencing with ootp... which they could avoid if they didn't buy through steam... (you don't own steam, you either use it or do not use it).
It would be a good idea to do a public beta, as you said, but the entire situation was avoidable... and only first-time users are exempt from blame. as you said, this is not the first time. you know this happens on occasion.
...
just step through what occured with the information the person/entity knew at that moment and given motivations and it's easy to see who is at fault and what was avoidable with a modicom of forethought. ignorance is only an excuse in instances of extreme technical knowledge or similar situation.
i blame myself for updating.. each patch is a small change... not updating isn't a big deal. certainly not missing out on anything by waiting and being a little patient... in fact Exactly the same as waiting for a public beta, lol. the guy still on 16.0.46(?) patch is the smart one, here.
