Payback time indeed hehe. Altho it would be cooler if Sony sued them because of all the lawsuits against them. Bigger payback then :)

That's pretty funny, especially If MS wins

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought MS owned part of Immersion.

I was under that impression as well. Something to the tune of 25% if memory serves me.

They do.
Microsoft cited a portion of the agreement where Immersion was to pay the company "based on certain business and IP licensing arrangements" but has not done so. The original agreement had Microsoft paying $26 million for licensing rights and a stake in the company.

Moral of the story: Sue Microsoft and you're screwed.

Most of us knew that moral years ago....a full decade even.

Yes, I know. My point being Immersion is just learning this NOW. The hard way. ;)

I guess Captain Obvious wasn't able to deliver the memo to them.
