As a side note, it probably does not apply to video games, because you agree not to hack the software when you agree to the EULA. Since this is a simple contract and not a DMCA issue, it has no effect there.
But in terms of DVDs, it could be significant. Here's hoping MGE Systems appeals and a higher court affirms.

this case doesn't, but the Library of Congress just released their updated list of DMCA exceptions, and bypassing DRM in video games is now one of them.

No, that was for mobile phones, and only for troubleshooting compatibility.

EULAs are not legally binding.

In the US they are. The courts have long held them to be binding contracts. Whether you like that or not has nothing to do with established law. Now they are held to the same standard as other contracts (i.e. they cannot be unconscionable, such as strange distant forum choices), but they are legally binding contracts nonetheless.
