Until other stores fall in line with the censorship brigade and games start being banned across all platforms if they contain anything the mob are offended by, from adult themes to sexuality to LGBT content to violence and so on.

Steam, Nintendo, and Sony have already started dabbling in censoring adult games, and it's already escalated from banning porn games to now non-porn games.

They are private companies, they can decide what they sell. Isn't this the most basic principles of free market? 

As long it's not the state baning the games, there is no problem here to be solved 

Freedoms make no sense in the context of instance that cannot be free or unfree. Can you threaten a company, kill it, torture it, intimidate it — all the stuff done to restrict freedoms? Applying a concept for self-determined beings like humans onto an institution that isn't like a company makes no sense at all.

Freedoms can indeed though applied to humans, including the freedom to want to immerse into sensitive artistic content.
