I don't know when this trend of calling devs "lazy" came from but it really needs to stop.

To develop games on today's current consoles takes up to over a million dollars (production, staffing, marketing, etc.) to make. And every new IP is a gamble in today's economy. Its not like the good old yester years where games could be made in half the time with less money, with a group in someone's moms garage. Games today are bigger, more advanced and require a lot more time and resources making. All that needs $$$$$.

So in order to make a profit and to extend the life of a game DLC is offered and it is never mandatory to buy by the way. But can you imagine a game that bombs and DLC is still offered for that bombed game? That's extra time, money spent and loss on a failed game. Or how about dlc for game that did well but the dlc was never purchased or made back enough of a profit to justify it being made in the first place.

And what game was released that wasn't finished? If you are referring to bugs and glitches well those are fixed through patches and don't cost us consumers a thing.

My point is this, you should never call devs lazy. Most to not all devs in the industry work 70 to 80 hours a week just to meet a deadline set from some chump in marketing.

now there are some blatant cash grabs, even I admit that. But like I said before, dlc is not mandatory and devs shouldn't be called lazy...unless you're the ones who worked on X-men: Destiny, damn lazy a$$es!
