Is the censoring the developers/publishers fault? Or was it an EU Pegi issue or something? If so, don't knock the people who put all that hard work to make that game.

Germany needed a censored version, SCEE decided since TM is mainly popular in the US "Let us be cheap arses and instead of making two versions for Europe, censor it for everyone!"

Because that is likely to spark EU interest...

Sounds like a very reasonable decision. Do you know what the added cost or development time it would have been to do two versions? Is it really that big of an issue? A little bit of censorship like that doesn't ruin the game, it just cut a little cut scene right? If its that much of an issue import it from the US.

They made two versions anyway, censored and uncensored, so it would have cost them nothing to 'develop' it.  They changed some special attacks also, not just cutscenes.

That's not true otherwise it would be a lot easier to get versions to other regions. Smaller games and even bigger ones sometimes have to launch at different times in other places to handle the differences even if the game is the same. Dyad for instance released in the US but the developer is hard at work to get it over in the EU. If it was just a simple thing of copy and paste or informing SCEA and SCEE at the same time we wouldn't have discrepancies like this. Or in Japan, plenty of titles only appear over there and one might say its because they don't sell over here, but if it was effortless to get it over here on PSN digitally atleast, why don't they? It seems like the chances are very superficial and the person to blame is according to you Germany's censorship board. If you need the uncensored version, import. Thankfully PS3's aren't region locked.
