The way I see it is like this: this kind of legislation could easily spell the end of AAA publishers in their current model, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. At the moment, AAA publishers are larger corporations that own smaller studios who in turn make games for the publisher. If the publisher goes away, the smaller game devs will still be around and capable of making games. There are still a lot of devs on the market who do not rely heavily on loot boxes or similar mechanics in order for their games to make money. They don't make gang busters with every single release, true, but it's not like they're unsuccessful. If the AAA studios can no longer sustain the sports games releases with the new legislation, then that just means that there will be a vacuum in the market that some other game devs will step in to fill. I don't think that sports games are doomed if this legislation passes: I just think that how they're made, and maybe even who makes them, will change
