Even though I was the one who made this topic, I still don't understand the whole thing. Can anyone summarise it for me?
they have said that sony cant make rumbling controllers but they never said that third partys couldnt or that third partys cant make rumble enabled games, or sony could get another company to make its controllers for it

I didn't know the games are being stopped, but if they are it's most probably because of the technology within the game that controls the rumbling.

Probably feature in various console bundles and have to be stopped due to some legal reasons we don't know to do with them and the controllers.
And the games?

All PS2s are sold with dual shock controllers so they'll have to stop selling the consoles for the time being as there aren't any controllers to go with it!

I thought Immersion were just suing them for the technology that makes the controllers vibrate. What on earth does that have to do with the console itself or the games.
They should have made a new controller years ago anyway.
Serves them right.
Serves them right.
But what about the Playstation 1s?

From the court thingy:
For the reasons set forth in its January 10, 2005 Order, and having entered judgment in favor of Plaintiff Immersion Corp. (Immersion), the Court hereby PERMANENTLY ENJOINS Defendants Sony Computer Entertainment America, Inc., (SCEA) and Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc., (SCEI) (collectively Sony) from manufacturing, using, and/or selling in, or importing into, the United States the infringing Sony Playstation system, including its Playstation consoles, Dualshock controllers, and those games found by the jury to infringe.
Including its Playstation consoles
What the hell?
No more PS2s either?
And what the hell do any of those games have to do with the controller?
We'll see, I suppose.
