IT WAS DELISTED and removed from steam due to game content violations.

Game content violations? Was the game an asset flip? Did it have malware in it or is it a front for scamming players?

I need to know what exactly was the issue with the game before I thank Valve for protecting their users?

A simple google search would have answered your question, or even a quick search on the steam related sub-forums

Steam has removed it and the entire storefront page due to content.

Due to what content

Naughty content.

Underage characters (down to middle schoolers) in sexual suggestive situations.
The publisher said they will still release the game on PC in the west, just not on STEAM.

Nothing pornographic or illegal anywhere that matters. What is the point of Steam then? My account is old and I still have only 70 games, most of which were keys from 3rd party websites.

They hate Japanese games now? That's not very politically correct.

They always had the rule that any game that contains sexual suggestive content ( does not have to be pornographic) that involves underage characters or a school setting will be declined publication on Steam.
This has happened for many years. Its their platform, they can decide which games they want to allow. Legal or not has no bearing on that.
I personally dont agree with that stance either ( if a game releases on consoles it should also be able to release on Steam, no matter the content) but it is what it is. And Valve has been pretty consistent in refusing games like this in the past.

I'm not deeply familiar with the games in this series or the developer, so forgive inaccuracies.

This is a game where you role play as high-school student and you're a camera nerd/photography club guy. You take consensual photos of classmates and girls from school who pose for you in cute outfits, with at least one of your options notably being an adult woman (teacher wish fulfillment).

The characters in the game are anime inspired with a stylized look. There's no 18+ content.

It doesn't matter what YOU think. Steam made a decision. Accept it.

It's actually not an acceptable situation, not in any way.

The game had a store page and community features fully set up and was set to release in a month. Steam was implied to be trusted by the game company to facilitate the distribution of this game and they are failing to deliver on that. We should probably be demanding a little more transparency in a situation like this. Sitting with your arms crossed is not going to make things better for us as consumers.
