Did Watchdogs 2´s "secret nudity" prove that game journalists have no memory?

I liked the 1st WD entry and will get the 2nd but today´s big gaming media story is that Watch Dogs 2 will need to have nudity patched out on the PS4. Aha. The game has "full-frontal nudity" as a reason it got the M printed on the box. GTA IV/V, Manhunt, Outlast and others managed to get the same rating with equal and non-sexual nudity too. Ubi´s very own Far Cry Primal featured such as well! It came out in 2016 and no one cared (i mentioned the nudity in our games section though). Why is no one bringing this up? The NeoGAF thread about this issue didn´t note that game and a gaming "journalist´s" memory lasts about 1 week, especially in hype season, it seems.

My question is: Are people really this dumb or uninformed in the age of google? Did no one try to share pics of Neanderthal dicks or bush via PSN in January? The ESRB is a mess anyway but someone must have a clue. I ain´t buying it.

Edit: He got unbanned quickly Hartland and he ain´t the story, as at least the bare bottoms prostitute is now getting a new texture.

People are mainly getting upset because the user who discovered the nudity and posted it on twitter was banned from PS Network for a short while. I think.

The media's job is to get people to watch/read/listen, not to be factual/informed anymore.

Jim Sterling made an enlightening video on it and he mentions my grievances too.

Start a change.org campaign to get more "daring" vaginas into M-rated games too, not just cocks, or something. Enjoy all the grizzly videogame murders till then.
Games and films don´t even need a mandatory M / R over here if they feature nudity btw.

(Wait, the penis game Jim played needed no age-gate but the scary boobs one did. Lol youtube.)

Ahh, I heard that Sony wanted to ban nudity in Watchdogs2 after someone found out and uploaded it to PS Network(?).

I think is pretty dumb. Isn't the game for adults anyway? They shouldn't ban nudity from Wd2 and I hope that even if they do so, that the rest of the versions of the game(PC, Xbox...) don't be involved in this mess, even though I don't like the game and I'm not going to play it.

Only 1 specific vagina texture will be taken out. The dicks and other, "less detailed" vaginas, will stay. I wonder if the other versions also include this specif character model for the prostitutes.
