Now that they're such a big name and have much more media exposure, this is understandable. With streamer influence being such a big factor nowadays, it's only natural that you want to create simple, in-your-face "flashy" stuff that can be easily shown and appreciated on stream. You may call something a "cheap laugh", but to many in the general public that's enough to get them excited and to try the game. This may be disappointing but from a business standpoint, it makes sense. Even memes can help make the game more popular, meaning more people hear about it, becoming curious and wanting to try the game out.

This probably means they're going to adjust things, but the major stuff, the core system, main frame, will be the same.
