So weird that they used GTAIII as the title for German and Finnish, considering R* states and requests in the E3 press kit, that when speaking of the game, refer to it as "Grand Theft Auto 3" and not the acronym "GTA"
They used the GTAIII logo for the German and French version because of the censorship, for the Finnish version ( as for the Spanish and Italian ones ), maybe they were also afraid of censorship.. Also, I think that saying "GTA" in their languages may be easier and appropriate. It's like in France, saying "GTA" is easier, faster and it sounds good. Saying "Grand theft Auto" sounds difficult if we don't know how to pronounce it. It could also be these reasons as among others.
@@Majin13PS3 As a German That may be a pretty good reason actually In German you can easily mispronounce it I think I remember a lot of people saying "Theft" with a hard German T sound instead of the proper soft T the Th Sound can be a easy slip up for Germans
