Important to note that it isn't censorship, but Valve's business decision to restrict access rather than verify user age. If Valve would do that, Steam could sell your game in Germany, too.

Since Steam does not meet the requirements to limit access to material to an audience above the age of 18, Valve has decided to remove access to such software in the region. It is compliance with law by exclusion. Consider it the same way you cannot access the online stores of several US supermarkets and other companies; they are complying with European GDPR by excluding your access. That way, they do not need to ensure your personal data isn't processed. Likewise, by excluding you from purchasing this game on Steam, Valve does not need to verify your age - and thus complies with German law.
