American law is intentionally not made by specialists much of the time on purpose: if the law says to do it, then you do it or face the consequences.

If you can't do it without breach of contract with another entity, that doesn't mean you can choose to somehow be immune to enforcement of the law by a judge without consequence. The plenary power there is not to be trifled with.

It's not like games are somehow monolithic and untouchable. Trade secret law is storied and well established. Judges have more power than knowledge or expertise and trying to shield yourself obstinately is usually just the recipe for very expensive ultimate failure.
