I think that's a rather shallow way of looking at. Would you describe something like chess as 'lazy' then?
A good competitive game has to put a lot of thought and care into its design to make it so that two players trying to make each other miserable actually ends up coming out the other end as a fun experience.
Chess is lazy. When you could play a real game like go.
But would @yesman@lemmy.world's statement also apply to go?
Go game devs were super lazy, couldn't even design interesting shapes for the pieces.
It's all recolored asset flips.
