I'm considering moving my KSP into steam

Nobody mentioned the trading cards, that's an advantage (?)

At this point you are just basically not using it through steam, so there's no real incentive to moving it to steam... Note that I have it on steam, so I know how you can elude the updates, but if you have the store version, why bother?

However, what steam actually means is "I will not update it until you try to launch it, and then I'll update the first time you run the game". In fact, you will find a lot of threads of people complaining about that, if you try searching.

It's good that KSP lets you use the "beta" to stay at the previous version, though, so I'll use that come 0.90 (since I have finally found my ideal mod setup and I'm not willing to let it go just because an update came out...).

Yeah, there actually used to be an option to make steam NEVER auto-update games, but for who-knows-what reason it was removed.

As someone who held off on switching over, and finally did, the benefits (for me) are:

Much easier updates (which can be rolled back if necessary - I'm currently still playing 24.2, for reasons.)

Time tracking

Letting everyone else know I have and love it
