Correct. A "Copy" of the game created in RAM can not be sued for as copyright infringement if such a copy is materially necessary for the functioning of the service itself - You can't play their game without a copy of the game loading into RAM. Unless they were actually hosting a copy of it and allowing other people to connect that is absolute hogwash even if it's a modified copy of their original game, because it's not being infringed upon if it's not being distributed.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
