you cannot. If you keep your announcements the same, there is nothing
you can do to overwrite the local pref setting of a different network.

I can think of two options. One: see if the network you want to be
influenced have communities publicly available to alter local pref
settings. Some networks do have this.

Two: originate a more specific prefix of the block your game servers are
in. Check with Transit1 if they have communities available to block the
announcement to their specific peer that you do want to be used by the
source network. This would mean that the specific prefix only is learnt
by the source network via the transit that has 10 ms delay.
