I've seen the same thing. Seems like the new behavior is to just let me login, play, and it will get what it needs in the background and automatically update on next launch.
Makes sense not to bother me to update a 0.1 release change after launch (unless it's urgent) when I just want to play Tetris.
Isn't this the same behavior web browsers use? Background download and update on next launch?
Not complaining, I prefer this update cycle as default.
The fact that this is Gene Wilder immediately gets my approval. The Tim Burton / Johnny Depp version of this comic just didn't hit the same. 😑
