Yeah, the others are right about this. It isn't censorship. It isn't being censored at all, it is just hard to sell... the console makers won't buy it. That is their own choice, after all. If these companies want to make AO games they should design them for PC where they can be sold in downloadable format, cutting out the issues of finding retailers willing to carry them.
As for the article: Everyone had some good points, but I really think Gunstone was the best. The avant-garde is always usually persecuted. If you really feel the boundary you are breaching is one that needs to be breached, then you should accept the backlash. Whining about it makes you seem weak and hurts your position. Also, it makes it seem like you pushed it for the wrong reason...you don't believe in it, you just want money.
