To put the potential $30k settlement into context, Nintendo’s most recent annual report stated that it had made a $40m loss from patent litigation in its last business year.

Hey guys, I think I just figured out why first party Switch 2 games are $80 now.

You think $40 million is a dent in Nintendo?

Patents can be struck void if you don't attempt to defend them. Paying $40 million to have the world once again say "ok Nintendo does have patent on that simple mechanic" is a steal.
