Unfortunately, everyone they hire at steam to review games now, seem to be of the type to ban first and ignore any and all questions that a dev may have as to why. I had this wishlisted already, so as soon as it disappeared from my steam wishlist I popped over to the banned spreadsheet and lo and behold, this one was removed. The surprising part of this, is if it only had to do with Mia, it would have gotten a hard ban immediately. Never would have even gotten a store page, such as chaos head noah, guilty pleasures, altered destinies, etc,etc,etc. The fact it got a store page and had it removed seems to say it was originally accepted, and then someone higher up the chain said to ban it. Regrettably, this is now the steam modus operandi. Personally, if they accepted the japanese VN Senren Banka, then the one girl in that one is pretty much the same type as Mia in this game, yet this one gets banned and that one didn't. Mind you it was released quite awhile ago, when the standards weren't so high. A general rule seems to be absolutely no school setting, and anybody with an A-cup is immediately considered a child. I bet if Mia had a D-cup on her, everything would have been fine.
But, since this is steam, the right hand never knows what the left hand is doing, and until they make rules that don't have a generalization or a "personal" opinion to them, great games like this will continue to join that growing list of banned games that get bigger every day. Meanwhile, we get thousands of $2.00 games with stolen artwork, or 8-bit games that a 50 year old would think has shitty graphics, and hell we can murder, dismember, rape, have incest, and dominate anyone we bloody well please, but that's okay right?? A game is a game, none of it is real life, so really nothing should be banned as far as I'm concerned.
You have an amazing game here and I am heartbroken that it won't see the light of day on steam, but I will continue to support you as best that I can. And hopefully there will come a time when the moron's at steam will get their proverbial heads out of their asses and realize that WE the people are the ones that make their platform, as without us, they would have nothing. It's really too bad that something like that can't be taken to court. First time someone successfully sues their asses for a few million in lost revenue for their game getting banned for no reason, then I'll dance a jig!!!
