Square Enix now has an "ethics dept", this includes controlling "sexualization of female characters". I don't hold out much hope for the 2nd game now.

And if ever this is true, if Yoko Taro is not involved, then it does not count.
Stop drinking the kool-aid. A lot of people had issues simply because Square Enix decided to not put the time in to ensure their software worked on a large share of current GPU models.
My PC was completely above the RECOMMENDED specs and I could not run the game at launch. Took months for AMD to release drivers to specifically address NieR:Automata stating that it was a work-around for an issue Square Enix needed to fix.
nVidia users who had the same exact issue were mostly S.O.L. with nVidia never releasing drivers to address the issue directly.
And now you have people on GTX 1080 Ti's or even RTX 2080 Ti's having the SAME issue every now and then, years later. You're gonna tell me their PCs are outdated too?
As for the OP, I'm gonna say I don't think that article has any credibility. The idea of an "Automata 2" sounds ridiculous to me. If anything we'd get a NieR 3 under some new title, probably unrelated to Automata.
Probably won't be for a long time either. Yoko Taro doesn't exactly get to pump out games very often.
As is the case for most people blaming the end user for the issues with this port of NieR:Automata. People make assumptions out of ignorance at the expense of the thousands of us who had to deal with these issues at launch, and the few unlucky ones still dealing with it years later because nVidia doesn't appear to have ensured the issue is resolved with every driver release. "Didn't happen to me so there's no problems".
Hell, before AMD took to resolving the issue, the only solution I had was to change my GPU, including downgrading to my spare R9 280 from an RX 480. A middle-spec GPU would run the game fine but a more modern higher-spec card at the time was dead in the water. Even GPUs that were below minimum spec in the Radeon HD 7xxx series were running the game. At poor framerate, but that's better than it crashing the GPU driver consistently within the first 5-10 minutes every time you load the game.
Nowadays I can run the game completely maxed out on 1080p with a solid 60 FPS on that same RX 480 GPU that couldn't run it at launch.
There's also other technical issues that affect literally everyone, such as how the game does not display to resolution correctly. If you do not have FAR installed, you can see it for yourself by changing the game between Fullscreen and Windowed modes. In Fullscreen the game is not displaying correctly and is stretched, as if the game is downsizing the rendering resolution and then upsizing it back to the correct resolution. This was one of the biggest reasons to use FAR since it addressed that issue.
Another minor issue is that Ambient Occlusion is packaged with it's own Anti-Aliasing in this game, yet there is a separate Anti-Aliasing option in the menu that can be enabled at the same time. These two options overlap, both reducing image quality and drastically affecting FPS. A lot of people don't know this and it's not displayed in-game. Usually Devs don't give you options for features that are bundled in other options, because problems like this can happen.
I think this game is great, but there's no good excuse for it to not run on a lot of common GPU models that are within or well above the listed recommended specs. They're one of the largest AAA publishers with some of the largest video game franchises on Earth. There's also no excuse for us to not expect more quality in their PC ports that other AAA Publishers, and even smaller Publishers, manage to accomplish.
Anyways, at least you might start to see that complaints about this game weren't just about issues with end users or hardware being under spec to run it.
Automata isn't а direct continuation of that games, but Automato is
indirect contonation ( You dont't need to play that games to understand plot of Automata)
