If you buy the censored version, it will stay censored. If you buy an uncensored version, it'll stay uncensored.
However, there is no need for a region restriction for German users, as they are allowed to own every game they want. It's Valve, Capcom, Bethesda etc. who massively misinterpret the German youth protection laws and implement completely unnecessary region locks for German Steam users.

ich würde dir raten der gruppe German Giveaways beizutreten. dort gibt es nur deutschsprachige und mehrheitlich deutsche mitglieder aus genau diesem grund. denn wenn du es als gruppen-GA machst, kann ja nur ein deutscher oder österreicher usw. gewinnen. und österreicher bzw. schweizer werden kaum mitmachen, da sie die uncut version haben.
es gibt hier einen thread, in dem du eine einladung erfragen kannst.

Whilst it might suck for a user to recieve a censored game its not your problem. As long ss you deliver the games in question youve fulfilled your obligations. Its typically a simple fix to remove the censorship anyway

It depends on the game. Some just require adding a line to a settings file, some just require replacing a file. Thats just a couple of examples.

I wouldn't want to inflict any of the problems we have here with censorship unto other users. We have to deal with enough ourselves.

I believe there should be a country restriction where you could choose any country, not only Germany. Have seen keys bought outside steam that could only be activated in Brazil.

I've asked the same thing before. Was told to just mention it being cut in the GA description.

But still, there are games that, when bought in Germany, only have the German language, like the Fallout 3 dlcs. So, maybe, a region restriction is indeed needed. :/

Germoney can't create giveaway...
To make it short, when creating a giveaway a region restriction for Germany is really needed (thanks to the censorship there).
Tried to create a giveaway for "The Bionic Commando Pack" (includes "Bionic Commando" and "Bionic Commando Rearmed") and found out that "Bionic Commando Rearmed" is cutted/censored for german users.
I don't know when the pack is gifted and - if possible - activated somewhere else if the censored version turns into the normal version, but I don't think so because the information when viewing it at my Steam-inventory says "Bionic Commando + Rearmed (DE)".
The "joke" is, I bought the pack because I thought "Nah, why only giving away one game when it's possible to give away two at once?".
