WD hasn't called SCEA back after they snubbed them the first time, which
was when SCEA had the no RPG rule in affect. Since SCEA has changed their
minds, RPG is open to who want to pick up titles, but there has been no word
from WD. Also, Sony has just the 2 one being a SCE product anyway. Also,
Konanmi is bringing out Genso Sukoiden, so SCEA isn't preventing anyone else
from releasing RPGs.

I think they would censor things, but they have more of an understanding
and appreciation for keeping things as close to the original as possible
which is good for gamers.

How do you know, a SCEA RPG has yet to come out.

"A lot faster," are you kidding. WD has had SW and Rayearth months before
SCEA decided to bring out BTB and Arc. Do you see SW or Rayearth out?
SW is coming out (hopefully after the 3 times WD has delayed it) this July
which is the same time BTB is coming out. Also, Rayearth is supposed to be
out this August, with Arc supposed to come out this fall.
What games has SCEA decided on not bring out? BTB, Arc, and Genso are the
only RPG that has been released that are worth bring over. I have no idea
where you are getting these info from.
SCEA is bringing out RPGs, and we are going to get the 3 best ones so
far released, with FF 7 coming out most likely by Square. What more do you
want? What do you have to be pissed about? I think you should seriously
rethink things.
