I don't agree one bit with keeping Recent Updates as a page for centralising all and any comment(s). This just turns:
 * General Discussion into a largely unused and archived variant of the cesspool that has garnered over the amount of years with virtually everyone posting their (mostly herpy derpy) page comments towards the bottom of Recent Updates.
 * Recent Updates page comments into one large un-organised cesspool of comments whereby everyone can post their random crap or discussion and as time rolls by we get what we had before with more than 36,000+ page comments spanning from 2013 till 2016. Meanwhile, there's several relevant areas where those page comments ought to go but instead they remain empty because everyone finds it convenient to talk about their usual "hoo haa" in Recent Updates. Thus again making General Discussion a largely unused page when it was meant to be where people can talk about their random crap.
 * Board: Game Updates gets attention from those whom are either preferring forum threads over wiki or prefers an "archival quality" version of updates as each updates usually contains several elements being updated and thus it is not easy to maintain links for all new updates when we have layouts right across this wiki that are constantly being changed time and time again thus invalidating links everywhere.

A long time ago, Recent Updates should have been locked from public comments to prevent people posting random discussions and then turning both Recent Updates into a cesspool of unwanted day-to-day personal comments -and- General Discussion into a meaningless page that has long been superseded by Recent Updates thus defeating the purpose of the said page.

People post page comments just because it is convenient, then you have pages that are lacking page comments because: Thus, over time Recent Updates has become this one-stop orgy shop full of cesspool comments instead of where the appropriate page comments were meant to go as they were.
 * nobody knows where to post their questions/comments.
 * moderators/admins to really having to also moderate those mostly off-topic comments by the way of mostly deleting comments or using some uncanny move that requires messing around with mediawiki's methods of moving page comments.

People are inherently lazy, this issue is _directly_ related to the way one decides where to post game updates if one were to be chosen over the other. Therefore:
 * we don't make _any_ changes to the way things are because ultimately nobody cares.
 * if we were to care about populating pages with relevant page comments then this habit needs to be broken quick and fast because at this rate Recent Updates will just turn into a cesspool like it once were (and areas like General Discussion becomes redundant for instance). Even at that we're lacking staffers to appropriately handle large changes.
