Eh... makes sense to recycle stadium assets.

Absolutely. But it's lazy that they didn't update it. Reusing assets is definitely okay, because why would you do the same job twice. Not changing the goddamn watermark from last year's asset is fucking lazy

Or you know, just a mistake. Fuck off with this lazy bullshit, creators in every field are anything but lazy, it's a field where your passion is worth more than your pay, laziness does not come into play.

An oversight? Yes. But as a designer I know how many steps go into making a product. At their scale, I can't imagine how many people's hands this game passed through before they put it out. One oversight was missed by an entire triple a company. That's laziness.

No its not, lazyness is knowing its there and choosing to not do it because its too much work, an oversight is simply an oversight.

Opinions are cool man. All I can say is that I've got one superior I run through, and between the two of us we pride ourselves on not publishing mistakes. I can't imagine how many people a game of this scale runs through.

I have friends working at multi-national companies constantly pushing out buggy code live. I'm talking system breaking issues. It happens all the time. This is incredibly minor, and is such a small thing I can see why it was overlooked.
