This article seems to say that it covers only digital items that have an always online requirement.

So i think offline games don’t need the warning, but online games, steaming movies, etc do need the warning.

Edit:

I looked a bit further and found the bill text:

(4) This section does not apply to any of the following:

[…]

© Any digital good that is advertised or offered to a person that the seller cannot revoke access to after the transaction, which includes making the digital good available at the time of purchase for permanent offline download to an external storage source to be used without a connection to the internet.

This exception clearly allows for user downloadable installer for a game with offline functionality. But consoles, steam, etc where you don’t get a standalone installer, they look like they will need the warning on all titles.
