On PC it's actually even easier.
Just sell the most censored version in 3rd party storefronts, and host uncensor patches on your own website.
And sell the uncensored version on your own website directly.

That would be great, but also pretty much impossible. Would probably not sell nearly as much, and it would only work for physical copies of games, that most people don't buy anymore. In the case of PC, I'm not even sure that they still exist. Hell, a lot of game discs are empty and the game is just downloaded from the internet anyway.
Anyway, this is a big reason why I wanted to learn Japanese. It's actually not as much of a problem for older games, because a lot of them have unofficial translations, even though an official one exists, because it's complete shit. and fans did it better. Of course, I just started leaving games like that for later, but then I ended up not playing them for years and now I can't play newer games anyway, and also, seems kinda silly to make future investments in my position, considering that I don't think I have much of a future anyway.
And there are plenty of other things I can do, like actually enjoying things that have been translated while that is still possible. Even if I do have a future, the sun will probably nuke technology out of existence anyway, so most of human culture will be wiped out. Only books can really survive, but even then, the floods will take care of most of those.
