Valve reserves the right to refuse to allow a game to be sold through their platform. The devs would still be free to make the game and distribute it through other means.
As this is already a Jim Sterling thread, I'll share a recent Jimquisition episode as a point of comparison. I think it's a similar situation. Valve refusing to sell a particular game on Steam is not censorship any more than Target refusing to stock GTAV is. I don't think asking Valve to have standards is a "free speech" issue.
