Update on September 28, 2021 - Valve responded to claims that Steam may end up removing the option to download older versions of games.
September 28 - Valve issued a statement to PCGamer explaining that the studio will not be removing the possibility of downloading older games. "We don't actually have plans to block downloading older builds," a spokesperson tells the website. "What we're currently working on is a method to handling edge cases involving materials that are not owned by us and helping partners remove their models that need to be removed. When it's ready for release we'll share more about that work." Original story is available.
Steam beta 2 comes with a new feature that seems to eliminate the ability to rollback updates to games or play older versions of games on Steam. In the new version users cannot download depots of Steam games to play earlier versions of games they own and a lot of people are unhappy with this change.
There are many games that are drastically changed between updates. There's a whole fan group dedicated to locating and archiving all the various versions of Minecraft through the years, for example and other games like Counter-Strike update regularly with big changes.
As of now it's possible to download and play older versions of games owned by Steam using someplace similar to SteamDB All you have to do is locate the depot of the version you want to play. However, the September 23 beta update of Steam has seemingly stopped this practice, so when the update is live in Steam in its entirety, no one will be able to play older versions on Steam's client.
Pavel Djundik, creator of SteamDB confirmed that it is impossible to download the older Steam game depots and play them with the new code in place. This is, at the very least, if Steam implements it across all games. Pavel declares that SteamDB will need to "go back to the past, to track only files it owns" If this happens. SteamDB includes Pavel's complete, detailed explanation.
The last Steam beta introduced an important change to game downloads.
With this change, it is no longer possible to download older game versions, because client asks for a code (GetManifestRequestCode) that rotates every five minutes.

Many Steam tinkerers are unhappy with this change and would like it reversed. Valve will decide if this will be prior to the live release.
