The game isn't banned. It's delisted. That happens when the publisher does something Steam doesn't like. Keys still work.

Delisted and banned are not the same. This game is banned indeed.

What's the difference? I have seen games removed from sale, usually because of licensing issues, but the store page stays up.

I have seen the store page removed, because the dev/pub removed it, which is rare. I have also seen a dev/pub have all their games delisted by Steam.

I can't say I've ever seen anything actually banned or removed where Steam takes games away from people, or prevents keys from being activated. I have seen devs revoke keys, but never Steam.

Well, from what I understand, "banned" is more like "delisted" + "profile feature limited", and it's usually implemented by Steam because of violating Steam terms such as manipulating user reviews.
For example, a Chinese pub "BD Games" was banned by Steam in June 14, like you said you've seen it too.

And I believe banned=delisted+limited, so that Steam won't take the game away or revoke keys because it's owner's property.
