I must admit I have a big problem with gamers calling developers lazy just because they did not do something they wanted. There are really no lazy developers it all have to do with time and money. Gamers have no clue about such things and always throw the lazy word out there but in reality, the developer probably just ran out of time. This is no different from the PS3/360 era where developers were called lazy but in reality they just ran out of time.
Most developers have fixed time and going over that time and budget just to add some additional effect or resolution when the majoriy of people will not see or care just is not worth it. Games are a business and time is a big issue when it comes to making games. As a developer, I am always under the clock. I must always hit my projects within the budgeted time or the business start to lose money.
Even though gamers rage over stuff like this, its always best for a developer to have a fixed time and cut the project at that time. Developers that go over that time look to recoup the cost but most time it does not happen and they get in to the Duke Nukem situation where scope creep cause the project to be more expensive then it will generate.
