So I looked into this and you are right and I am wrong. Deleting my previous posts since there’s more to this case than just haptics.

Rewarding a patent troll is never a good thing. It just means no one will be able to use haptic feedback without paying a toll.

Maybe the producer insisted the plot must include a giant mechanical spider.

One year later… “Why doesn’t anyone want to pay for our slop tv show/movie/book/song/videogame? I wonder if our company can get a bailout from the government?”

How is this good news? Haptic feedback has existed since the 1970s. This patent should be invalid.

It’s still code bloat. A lot of these new “features” should have been plug-ins.
Sounds like a class action. Some corporate buyer or school will probably sue. I predict the judgement will end up being a coupon for $100 off one of the new googlebooks.
