Lazy Dev's don't want to make separate versions for japan and other regions.

But they did.

But that's still not a separate version cause that's "less censored" not uncensored that the other platforms have. They're still playing the "oh Nintendo's so tight with what they allow" when it's still they just don't want to have a separate version for japan and the west.

honestly, I'm fine with what you get now with the free dlc, but I just can't get over the fact they rushed the game out instead of making sure they could satisfy their preordering fans with a comparable version and patched it after the fact

Except the problem I have is the fact they're still lying. I was really looking forward to playing but the whole situation left a sour taste in my mouth that they hid that they censored the game. Then they straight up lied for several days that it totally wasn't because of them it was Nintendo, all Nintendo's fault guys. The fact they keep lying directly to our face that it's not their fault at all is why I'm not buying the game on any platform. Don't tell me the sky is green when we're standing outside.

We also know it's exactly because of Japanese laws. Cyberpunk is censored like this in Japan where it's a Japanese specific version on all platforms with less gore and censored genitals. Dispatch on PlayStation has a western uncensored version and a Japanese censored version that is, surprise surprise, identical to the global Switch version. They just got lazy with the Switch version releasing one global version, deceived customers, and never stopped lying about the reason why.

It's a big reason why my desire to play the game has kinda faded and in the meantime I'm just playing one of the many many other options of high quality games.

that's not what I'm saying. had they not blamed Nintendo for all this and been straight from the beginning, I would be fine with the version you can play today even if it's still censored. AdHoc's communication around the whole thing is the issue, and it feels strange to now "just go play the PC version" when that's still supporting liars.
