The steam store is basically a monopoly by now. And that removes their right to be overly picky, in my opinion. They have full power to act as a censor and limit the right to free speech. If they weren't as big I'd agree with you, but now I feel like they should just follow the established norms of soceity and let anything that doesn't violate law in.

I'm trying to think of any other app store or digital distribution platform that has taken this stand with the same voice Valve has.

Frankly I perceive this reinforcement of policy as a credit to Valve's staunch independence more then any societal influence.

Companies have no obligation to preserve your right to free speech. There is no concept of 'right to free speech' here, since Valve in not part of the government.
