The federal jury in Tyler, Texas,...

Mirror Worlds LLC, the legal entity that filed the complaint, is incorporated in Tyler, Texas,...

That does not sound right to me.

Federal court in Tyler is widely known to be VERY plaintiff friendly.

Tyler, Texas, has absolutely no tech industry, and not much industry otherwise. It’s biggest employers are the local hospitals and schools. Pretty much every tech company set up there is a temporary shell company created for the purpose of suing a company that actually puts out products.

If all these lawyers worked for the same company, they would probably be the biggest employer in the city.

That's exactly how tort (extortion) law works. If the town of Tyler, Texas did not stand to benefit from this lawsuit, the suit either would not have made it to the trial stage or the result would have been different.

British "loser pays" provisions tend to cut down a bit on meritless lawsuits, though they may also cut down on meritorious ones... and there are legal gamblers everywhere.
