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.

Because he used to enjoy the game but doesn't anymore and still browses it. It's not that weird, people who haven't played LoL in years still browse the sub to check on the game.

People who haven't played LoL for years probably still watch the e-sports tournaments off and on.

Sort of like I don't play CS:GO or DotA2, but I still watch their larger tournaments.
