I’m not sure whether it makes it easier for Anthony but for the purchaser it makes it easier as the game will automatically update once it’s updated on steam. This means that you don’t have to log in each time, delete the old copy you have and download a whole new copy of the game losing your previous saves in the progress. Now I know with some games an update will ruin all former saves so that might not be a huge argument in favour. But it does in my option make it more practical for the user as you don’t have to keep an eye out for emails or on the forums that the game has updated rather steam does that for you.
