Cyberpunk 2077 Won't Be Censored For Australia, Receives R18+ Rating

Games being mainstream entertainment products, doesn't mean people care if games get censored. Not gonna lie, I don't even understand what this means. What are you saying here.

"the eyes of the general public would see it if cyberpunk got refused classification or had to be modified. I don’t think it would at all."

It will sell well, because it's being relentlessly hyped in every which direction. Take Skyrim, even if it is the 5th game of a long running series, The Elder Scrolls wasn't that popular of a series. It was just popular amongst the lovers of video games. But the hype behind that game was obscene, because Oblivion picked up loads of fans, who talked about the next game to people who'd never played any kind of RPG.

Same thing is happening here. The people who usually play games like COD or a sports game each year, will pick up Cyberpunk. Mass marketed open world action games bridge gaming interests like no other genre.
