1st amendment applies to public spaces, not a forum owned by a private company.
if it's the government that is doing the censoring, against the will of both the users and the private company, how does it not apply here then?
Where's that censorship? Show me, please!
"You'll be under more scrutiny"
Ok, perfect, in the end they can't actually do shit but reprimand then because it's a private platform. Hell, have they censored Twitter or 4chan? Nope.
There is an implicit threat of government censorship there, even if it is ultimately toothless. And since valve is clearly not the one interested in increasing moderation, your point about the 1st amendment "not applying to private forums" is irrelevant
