Hypothetically, I dont believe your logic is valid.
You can consider it suing yourself. In reality you would be suing an entity that was supposed to represent all of us, and, if proved that DW did it to benefit a select group of "friends", the lawsuit would have more weight. And if you were not one who benefited from the retro activity of the age change, you would have been harmed. And if the suit was won on the merits of the case, it would be a win, because that kind of thing (waste of our $ to fight for that change) hopefully would not happen in the future.
Everyone has their concept of whats right is right, and what is wrong is wrong. Walking away is one way to deal with that concept. JMO
