I haven't read the entire agreement, so I don't really know nor do I care to. But I suspect that it would squarely fall under protected speech once the game has gone public and they've "purchased" it.
What exactly do you mean by "protected speech"?
Protected by the law.
Just like truth in advertising laws exist, some restrictions are rightly placed on free speech in the interest of consumer protection. Imo this case clearly should fall under similar consideration.
