Pearl Abyss Promises 1-Patch Fix for Crimson Desert Outfit Bug After 1.06.00 Backlash

Pearl Abyss said Damiane’s altered “Elegant Carmine” outfit in Crimson Desert was an unintended bug from update 1.06.00 and will be corrected in the next patch.
The issue appeared after developers tried to fix clipping on the armor, but the change added black shorts under the character’s skirt and armor, triggering accusations of censorship.
Steam reviews turned negative as players demanded the original design be restored, with some saying they would refund the game if they still could.
The dispute hit a title that had launched strongly, with praise from players and critics and reported sales of more than 5 million copies in under a month.
Was Crimson Desert's outfit change a bug, or did player backlash force the developer's hand?
Why did a 'censorship' review-bomb fail to dent the success of a 5-million-selling game?
