Yeah, what's up with that? I heard that there were some serious editing/censoring in this game when he uploaded it to Steam? Like blurring out text or like a maple leaf?
i thought most of that stuff was reverted?

Some stuff. Some cinematics were removed because the music license company changed the terms. Other devs are now getting hit with this also. That is probably why Ocean's done things like changed the logos of consumer items (to prevent lawsuits). The thing is that what is on steam IS the official version. There's isn't un "unedited" one. The steam version is the canon version. There's no jacuzzi semi lewd in season 1, so the (assumed) lewd preview with Nami and Nika from season 2 replaces that. I'm sure it'll be hotter than the original that was cut.
this may ruffle some feathers but I have to ask. I haven't played this game but how can it only have 1 season since being released in 2019?
People who answer with one sentence have either had to answer too many times or are too cynical, and you'll get some flavour of their biases. My potted response:
- SG's script was given to another dev, Regium to develop, Regium pulled out between Ch1 and 2, with Ocean taking the game back.
- around Ch3, Ocean discovered much better models and processes, so started reworking WiaB, but realising it looked shit going from old to new, so started reworking SG from the start, while continuing the story.
- WiaB was rebooted. It had already reach ch6, but now we're waiting on ch4 of the new version.
- there are over 12000 static renders in SG. Not every full game gets that many. There is a lot to read to know the story. It is long, and takes a while to play because there is so much character development (season 1 is about stablishing who the cast of the game is).
- Around the time Ocean was going to steam, he finished the rework, which removed any legacy renders.
- the rework was extended to tame the game down from 18+ to 16 for steam, so Germans could get it on steam. That didn't work though, but Ocean has only returned the parts that made sense to him with his plans for season 2.
There's other things such as getting hardwares, almost losing files etc.
Since Steam's May release, Ocean's been working on Season 2 Ch1 (there was a little done earlier, but I suspect he redid some of those renders). When Ch1 of season 2 is out, it'll be half to 2/3 of the entire size of season 1, so there's a lot of game. This is too ambitious, but Ocean's making good progress if we believe the devlogs.
If you want to see the devlogs, there's a link in the OP that has a list of the season 2 devlogs so you can read for yourself.

I'm out of reactions, but damn, that's good.
