when a game is fresh and new, i'm spending my time gaming on it, not posting about it. then when i'm done usually people have spent themselves posting about the game and i have nothing new to contribute, so i just post "this game is good, and i enjoyed it, farewell." it's rough, i won't lie.

Game designers of merely bad games (as opposed to cash grabs) do "lazy" things that can be good but don't do them well enough to make it fun to play.

My personal favorite were the people doing this for their lazy delivery drivers during peak season (black Friday through new years)

Yeah that guy who didn't take time to knock and wait for you so that he could finish his route in under twelve hours is lazy.

A game designer can take as many shortcuts as they like, as long as they know how to make it work.

the way i see it is that game designers, even ones that arent the best at it or dont have the most pure intentions, dont have unlimited amounts of money, or the game theyre making isnt gonna be expected to make them millions since it might be some niche thing or whatever. its not really like painting or writing where you can give it everything youve got since a game can possibly bankrupt your studio if it goes wrong, so that probably doesnt allow designers include everything they wanna include just out of love for the medium.

I think the best example is procedural generation, which is used in a ton of indie games, often viewed as "lazy game design" but really the bad examples of it like Rogue Legacy or Rogue Shooter the developers just didn't know how to use it effectively.

On the other hand you have Receiver which was a 7 Day FPS I think and used procedural generation because they didn't have the time to hand-design levels, but they knew what they were doing and it ended up good.
