Because most of the people criticizing the update are so uninformed. I don't think Badspot or kompressor will change they're minds, but I agree with waiting. It should have been like that from the start, add something else. But since shadows and shaders are graphics related, and that's the first thing being added people insist that the developers themselves are choosing graphics over gameplay. If the first thing being implemented was something else, no one would really mind. Then maybe later on shadows and shaders could have been added, and no one would say a thing. People only hate it because they think it's just for the graphics.
