This is revisited at the end of ep10, It’s most likely Becky trying to sabotage the DIKS, as evidenced by the letter to the Alphas, Cathy’s post, the leaked photos of DIKs’ Hell Weeks, and the camera in Derek’s room we still don’t know why she’s doing this, but if you search her name in the forum, you’ll find some theories.
I wouldn't call it lazyness, it would have created a greater branch in the game and it would take way longer for episodes to come out, but yeah, if DPC were a greater studio that should definetely happened.
