Bugs have never really bothered me much in games like these, so I'll still get it day 1. Also with Christmas coming up, now is the only time where I'll have a couple days off with nothing else to do, but play games all day long.
The edginess is par for the course for the cyberpunk genre, it's not cool, but also doesn't bother me. The trans issues are the only thing that I think a really a shame here, hopefully some of the more egregious stuff will get patched out or the subject matter will be better handled in the future DLC updates.
The dev crunch also definitely sucks, but boycotting the game will not change anything, except for the devs probably getting paid less. So that kind of reaction from gamers, I just don't understand. The culture needs to change, but not buying the game is the wrong way to go about this.
The "I haven't played this game yet, but fuck you for saying it's not perfect." crowd is just... dumb? But then again, it's 2020 on the internet, what can you expect, really? Not playing the game because of morons is another thing I don't understand at all, it has nothing to do with the game or devs themselves and everything with our culture in general. That's, again, where change needs to happen.
Bottom point: Get active in your community and educate people that don't know better (for LGBTQ, crunch etc.), donate to worthy causes if you can and just try to be a good person yourself. Don't project stuff on generally unrelated issues like a videogame or "gamers" (most DON'T just fucking suck).
