The question, to me, isn't 'whether game devs are the only individuals beholden to things on their personal twitter.' I think that there is a commonly-accepted, industry-agnostic expectation that certain views would be met with professional consequences—that, regardless of industry, if one were to post snuff films starring themselves on their Twitter, that there might be some professional blowback for that.
My point is that the expectation placed on game devs is substantially different from that of other fields, as exemplified in the Jessica Price thing. The threshold that is seen to justify or demand professional blowback is considerably lower for game devs than for other fields. That doesn't make game devs the only individuals who can see professional consequences for publicly expressing individual opinions, but I do think that there is a very common belief on the part of gaming audiences that game devs are, at all hours of the day, through any available outlet, regardless of the context, representatives of their employers. That, I believe, is exacerbated for game devs compared to other comparable industries.
