Accuse someone to produce pedophile content is a slander. And besides that they previously accepted the content on their platform. So you can be sure they can find ground for a lawsuit. And if Steam wants to avoid exposition they'll settle. Besides that, the plentiff may show that Steam accepts other contents that cover unlawful behavior in-game.

Slander is first of all spoken.  So, it's definitely not slander.  If anything it would be libel, but libel has to involve a public statement that damages someone's reputation.  It doesn't apply to a private correspondence.  Who the hell was Valve defaming the developer to.  Themselves?

The developer is the one that publicized the comments.  If they truly thought the comments would be damaging to their reputation, then they would have... you know, not publicized them.  

Not to mention the statement would have to be proven false.  And Valve's opinion is certainly reasonable.

Not sure if you remember the cases of private conversations in USA that were taped and aired and still got the speakers to face judicial issues.

Prove that Valve statement is false? How and why would the dev prove it wasn't someone from Valve that made? And no, it isn't reasonable, unless you are in any position to claim this game is massively or marjorily consumed by pedophiles.
