They've probably got a case based on promissory estoppel. Roughly Google made promises that Stadia wouldn't shut down. The devs work on a port based on that promise. Thus Google is liable for their effort.
But then again probably there's some sort of "eat shit and die" clause in the agreement developers have with Google.
