Basically, there probably is a legal case to answer especially for supposedly single player games that have online components, but it would be up to individuals to actually go about suing the game companies, the government isn't going to get involved.

I sent it at the time, petition was badly done, it really should have just focused on keeping software products in general around after support is dropped by the creating company. This isn't just an issue that affects video games, and get and by using video games in the name it allows the government to kind of just dismiss it.
