Like, maybe not because of censorship per se, but maybe for abusing their power as an oligopoly or going against the desire of their users?

Yep. Basically, to bring suit you have to be able to show that their actions injured you.

If you made a game that was delisted, you might have grounds, but given the nature of the games that were delisted you might have some issues bringing suit since it will put you under scrutiny.

That and you better have a damn good case or a shit ton of money and a willingness to fight for a decade over it.
