The game did not get censored, in fact, it got uncensored in some countries like Germany for example (no limbs being cut off during fatalities was suddenly gone if you downloaded the game from the official website).
The population went up quiet a bit when it first went F2P but it pretty much went back to where it was (and kept declining like it was before the F2P launch) because the restrictions were too high for F2P players.
