If you pay by the update, devs will update their way to a nice payday .

Nah. It’s most likely not that direct. If the boss makes it clear that they measure productivity by blindly adhering to some dumb metric (number of updates , kloc, number of bugfixes) then the devs will find a way to max out that stat, to get bonuses, promos, etc.

Update one character at a time, commented out till you’re ready to make a real change.
Then do it again to fix all the shit you just broke
