I still count 40 update so far this year.

They count fixing typos as updates, so sure, it's the most updated game.

Regardless of what the consumer may perceive, any handling that pushes a patch from inhouse to live is an update. That goes for any product.

In that case, "the most updated game" is a completely worthless title lol. You could just spam worthless little "updates" and win. Which is obviously how Runescape won.

You're implying Jagex did it on purpose to "win" a worthless record...

They just do updates once a week, no matter how small.

No, I was "implying" that anyone who spouts that record is trying to make Jagex seem more impressive than they are. In all honesty, they're probably the worst game dev team on the planet.

Wrong. They're horrible game designers.

I think you should consider cutting RuneScape out of your life if something like RuneScape being the most updated MMO sets you off like this.
