I've never seen Microsoft word request or force update, it'll request to me if it's activated as a process to click update etc if I recall but for it to be open and force updates jeopardises the ability to continue typing the file mid use. What version do you have?
I haven't gamed in years and when I'd lose a game I wouldn't get upset, it's only a game after all, a source of recreation not life, no one died... Unlike in certain parts of the world, well, now that is something to be upset about. Poor tortured human children and animals.
